He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. They forced his feet into shackles, He was put in irons; Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord refined him. Psalm 105:17-19 NASB2020

Our pastor mentioned this verse as part of the message and it stayed with me. You know, when you’re going through your own process and you wondering if you’re going to ever see the promises God gave you, come to pass.

Heres the thing you need to know; what you’re in right now is called your refinement process. It’s however long God needs to line up all the necessary components and do the needful preparation to get you ready for His big plans.

You may think you’re ready, but only God sees the beginning and end. I’m pretty sure Joseph thought he was ready long before God gave the dreams to Pharaoh. But God’s timing was perfect and Joseph was able to step right into his role to deliver his people from famine.

So keep believing. Keep faithful. Remember that this season will soon be over and you’ll step into your promises.
