God Sent You Here
Genesis 45:8a (NLT) So it was God who sent me here, not you!

I love how Joseph proclaimed that God’s calling on his life was the real reason he was in Egypt. He wasn’t there because his jealous brothers sold him into slavery. What apparently started out as bad for Joseph was actually the catalyst to a series of events that led to an ultimate good – not just for Joseph – but for his family and his people. Have you ever asked yourself, “Why am I here?” You may have posed this question to God or people who are close to you. If you will allow yourself to have peace in the fact that you are here because God sent you here, you will realize there is a Lighted path for you to walk on each day that is equipping the greater purpose of ‘you’. You truly are a ‘Kingdom child’! Much of your frustration comes from the unwarranted attention you give to the trivial matters of the world. You are here because God sent you! Let your thoughts attend to His Greatness, and you will find stability in Him!
