Considering his history, if I was Joseph, I'd stop wearing coats all together.
After being sold into slavery, Joseph lands in Potiphar's house, who is one of the Pharaoh's higher ups.
"As it turned out, God was with Joseph and things went very well with him. His master recognized that God was with him, saw that God was working for good in everything he did."
Joseph's life of "success" has plenty of ups and downs. After being seduced by his master's wife, he was thrown into jail.
"But there in jail God was still with Joseph: He reached out in kindness to him; he put him on good terms with the head jailer. The head jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners—he ended up managing the whole operation. The head jailer gave Joseph free rein, never even checked on him, because God was with him; whatever he did God made sure it worked out for the best."
My top 3 spiritual gifts are leadership, administration, and faith. My life verse is Romans 8:28, "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose." I can relate to Joseph.
At Confirmation on Monday night, we talked about the uncertainty of life. We also brainstormed what we can be certain about in regard to God:
#1. He loves us.
#2. He is with us.
That's it and it's enough.
