What Would I Do in Joseph’s Place

By Rev. Dean Beaty 4/23/09

 

Do the clouds of complaining darken your sky?

Do you find it easy to see a mote in one’s eye?

If anyone had the right to complain of his plight,

Joseph is the one that I would first cite.

 

Sold by his brothers because of envy and strife.

Tossed into a dungeon because of Potiphar’s wife.

He was promoted even there in distress.

And stayed true to his God in spite of the mess.

 

The butler forgot him for another two years.

Then Joseph was brought to calm Pharaoh’s fears.

He was promoted to second in the land.

Soon he would see just how well God had planned.

 

Joseph could have complained and forsaken his God.

Who would have known since he was abroad?

Some people go wrong in the darkness of night.

But one thing he lived by: he was still in God’s sight.

 

Circumstances of life can tear at one’s soul.

Unless we trust God till He shows the whole.

‘Tis not thoughts of evil God has for His own,

But to prepare them at last to arrive at His throne.
