Do you ever feel like you’re in a pit, down a well, nothing goes right? Sure, we all have those moments. No matter what we do, we get the feeling that we are taking 2 steps forward and 1 step backward.
We read in Genesis 37 (The Message translation) where Joseph’s brothers threw him in a pit. This wasn’t the end of Joseph though. What looked like the worst and end of Joseph turned out to be a good accomplishment for many people.
What looks like the worst day for us may turn out to be for the good of others. We may make just the slightest impact and influence but that is God’s plan; He’s at work.
Ed Young, Jr. of Fellowship Church in Texas says, “When you’re in a pit, don’t look down; look up, that’s where the action is.”
