Psalm 105
Devotional:
They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. (Psalm 105:18-19)
Joseph was sold as a slave by his own brothers, and as if that wasn’t bad enough, he was accused of a crime that he didn’t commit and was thrown into prison. He waited and waited for years to receive God’s help while in prison. Eventually, God gave Joseph the interpretations to Pharaoh’s dreams, which led to his release and rise in Egypt but also the saving of God’s people. They were then enslaved in Egypt but eventually delivered and brought to the land God promised. Maybe you feel like Joseph in prison or Israel in Egypt right now, wondering if God is hearing you. Remember His faithfulness to His people and how those difficult moments play a role in the ultimate unfolding of His plans for your life and your salvation.

Pray it:
Father, thank you for your faithfulness to your promises and to your people that I read about in Scripture and am reminded of in this Psalm and the songs I sing. Help me to remember that you continue to be faithful and that your faithfulness is not just to them but also to me. Amen.
