ONLY GOD < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Genesis 40, 41:1-9

ÒMany are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.Ó (Psalm 34:19) The Psalmist is talking about the righteous and not the wicked. As one that has submitted unto Jesus, you wonder why your situation continues to be from one affliction to another affliction. What the Psalmist is saying here is, as a believer that is having challenges, you are not alone, you are not the first and you will not be the last to be in the kind of situation that could generate doubt in your faith. In your affliction, know that you will soon get out and enter into your season of deliverance. Do not lose your focus on God because He is the only one that will deliver you at His own appointed time. Joseph, at a young age, went into the pit of no water or survival, sold to slavery in Egypt, from slavery to prison for an offence that he had not committed. Despite his coming out from one affliction and entering into another affliction, there was no record of complaining or questioning God, and he overcame. In your affliction whom are you calling or looking up to besides God? However, if your call is being placed onto God, be rest assured that all will be well. Joseph had many afflictions and there are many with different forms of affliction like Daniel and all were delivered. In your affliction let your only place of expectation for help be from God. After Joseph had revealed a positive dream to the butler, he requested for kindness instead of just hoping on mercy from God. Joseph stated, ÒBut remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.Ó(Genesis 40:14) Joseph was looking for kindness from the wrong person. Is there any wrong place where you are hoping for deliverance to come? Take it all unto the Lord and He will not fail to deliver you from your affliction. The butler did not remember Joseph for two years. The butler could only remember Joseph when Pharaoh had a dream that no one could interpret. It took two years for the butler to remember; it was GodÕs timing, not the butlerÕs.  After two years Joseph interpreted PharaohÕs dream and his story was changed to good forever.  Do not let your affliction lead you into settling for less. With God all things and nothing can be impossible because God desires to deliver the righteous from affliction. Remember today, God is not bound by human limitations call on Him and He will answer your prayer your affliction will go
