Many men in the Bible showed their emotions
and wept. Mighty Kings in the Old Testament wept.
- Ndipo Davide ndi anthu amene anali naye anakweza mau ao, nalira
misozi, kufikira analibe mphamvu yakuliranso.
(1 Samuele 30:4)
- Ndipo pocheuka Yuda, taonani, nkhondo inayambana nao kumaso
ndi kumbuyo; nafuulira iwo kwa Yehova. (2 Mbiri 13:14)
- Ndipo m'mene anayandikira, anaona mzindawo naulirira (Luka
19:41)

People are going to fail you, disappoint you, leave you hanging
out to dry. Let that drive you to God.
Notice that through all of Joseph's troubles, God remained with
him.
Paul told the church in Rome
"Nasi twajua ya kuwa katika mambo yote Mungu hufanya kazi
pamoja na wale wampendao katika kuwapatia mema"
Warumi 8:28
All things, even the bad things we face, will be made to work for
the good of God's children.
Joseph's loyalty to God was tested by his troubles and Joseph passed
the test. Even though everything appeared to go wrong for thirteen
years, Joseph managed to hold on to his faith. However, also notice
that Joseph was being trained during this time to run a nation by
first running a household and then a prison.
This is not the end of the story of Joseph and his brothers. There
is a happy ending when Joseph is reunited with his father and brothers.
But for today, we learn the lesson of the terrible things that happen
because of the sin of jealousy and hatred.

and grieving. Create a ‘Heaven Corner’ with a gold cloth

a red cross to represent His blood. Get them to come and place it
the papers at the foot of the cross.

Lord I place my life in your hands. I want to serve you and do what
you want me to do. Lead me in the right path and remind me you are
always there. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
