We are to give honor where honor is due. God is creating a new community where anyone can belong. Who are we to discriminate between who gets our love and respect, and who does not? To favor only the rich who are taking advantage of you, who are abusing you and trashing the name of Jesus, is absurd behavior for anyone who’s been redeemed by Jesus.

God was up to something in Joseph’s life. Jacob made him a leader too soon and it went to his head. God’s dreams didn’t help too much either. He was young, brash and a bit full of himself. But God wasn’t done with Joseph. That’s why his story is only beginning. What looks like a nightmare now, may just turn out for his good. And by the way, what’s true of Joseph is also true of you. What looks like a nightmare in now, may just turn out for your good. God may just be up to something good for you.
