Have you tried to do right, yet things have gone wrong? When Joseph honored God by saying no to Potiphar’s wife, he landed in prison. While there he told a fellow prisoner, “I was kidnapped from my homeland…and now I’m here in prison, but I did nothing to deserve it” (Ge 40:15 NLT). If that’s how you feel today, God has not turned His back on you. His plan for your life has not been derailed. “The Lord shall not turn back until He has executed and accomplished the thoughts and intents of His mind” (Jer 30:24 AMPC). You may be perplexed, but God is not. He is using every moment of this season and every element of this experience to prepare you. “They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph's character” (Ps 105:18-19 NLT). Do you remember how you felt about the tests you were given in school? At the time they felt like persecution but looking back you realize they were preparation. They revealed what you had learned. They qualified you to move to a higher grade. They equipped you for living in the real world. The psalmist wrote: “For you, God tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance” (Ps 66:10-12 NIV). God will use people, pain, and problems to test you. Why? So that He can bring you to “a place of abundance.”
