Devotion - Genesis 49:22-24

Genesis 49:22-24
Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:

The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

The same hands that created the universe are ready and willing to make you strong and help you deal with whatever you are facing today. God didn't stop the archers for Joseph, he strengthened Joseph. God may not take away your trial, but He will most definitely help you through it.

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Psalm 37:5-7
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

If we are a child of God, He wants the best for us. We can take heart in our trials that He has our best interest in mind. Just rest in the Lord and let Him work. Keep your eyes on him and not the prosperity or lack of trials of others.
