SET NOT YOUR HOPE ON MAN
But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him. Genesis 40:14, 23 NIV
It is not too strange a phenomenon in this world to receive hatred for our love and slights for our kindness. It is also a common experience in this life for those who are at ease to forget others in distress. However, one greatest lesson human’s disappointment teaches us is to learn to focus and trust in God only.
While it is human to forget, it is also divine to remember. Until the appointed time comes for your exaltation and fulfilment in life, the God who is at work in your life and has kept you where He has chosen to hide you for now will not release you. God’s time for your enlargement is the fittest time for your release.
So, wait on Him till your set time comes. God can never be too late, He is always on time. Those who are kept under the divine watch do not act hastily for it is the LORD God who goes before them to prepare the way, bring them in and establish them where He has appointed for them at their appointed time. May the LORD God gives strength to your weary heart today and make you strong to wait on Him till He comes for you. Enjoy a refreshing weekend.
Your brother,
