"Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him." Psalm 105:19 NKJV
When Joseph's brother's stripped him of his coat of many colors which represented his father's favor, what held him steady? The promise God gave him. When he was thrown into a pit and then sold into slavery, what held him steady? The promise God gave him. When the butler he befriended in prison failed to speak on his behalf to Pharaoh, what held him steady? "Joseph...was sold as a slave...He was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. The king sent and released him, the ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house" (vv.17-21 NKJV). God's word will stand the test of time, but in order for it to come to pass, you must stand strong in faith during your times of testing. You will be tested by the attitudes and actions of your family. You will be tested by living in circumstances of adversity and hardship that seem opposite to what God promised you. You see, God is more interested on your character than He is on your comfort. The New Living Translation says, "Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph's character" (v. 19). Why test anything? To find out if it's trustworthy. And when you prove trustworthy, you can stand on the promise, "it will certainly come to pass" (Hab 2:3 NET). So, stand on the promise God gave you.
