16 2026 Just Another Man
Who was Joseph, if not just another man? And not even a man, but a mere child. Yet he had dreams. Where did those dreams come from? Did Joseph see the future under his own inspiration? Or was God with him? Did Joseph have an easy life? Was he given any special favor or advantage? Wasn't he persecuted, tormented, envied, hated, despised, afflicted, wrongly accused, rejected, forsaken, forgotten, and imprisoned? But God was with him. Joseph had the faith of his fathers. He trusted in God, in spite of his limitations and setbacks and sufferings. Who was Joseph, but a man who knew what God could do?
The Lord has no favorite children. He shows no partiality. He will do for you what he has done for others. Solomon was only a man, and he asked for wisdom, and God gave it to him. You can have the wisdom of Solomon and Daniel combined. You can endure any suffering, and still have the joy of Paul and the apostles. Your life can be beautified with love all the time, if your trust is in him. You can have the strength of Samson, the patience of Joseph and Job, the faith of Abraham, the song of David, the courage of Caleb, the success of Joshua, the leadership of Moses, the prosperity of Isaac, the power of Elijah, the determination of Ruth, the boldness of Peter, and time would fail to tell of all that God could do for you, if you simply had the faith to ask. Why would God reveal these things to the prophets, if he didn't want us to have them? Why would he have shown us what is to come, if he didn't want us to know what awaits us in the future? Why don't you take the joy and gladness God offers to those who trust in him? Learn the secret of faith, and take the limit off of what God can do for you.
