As we've read through the book of Genesis, a constant theme has been waiting. Joseph's life has been no different. When he was a kid, he had a dream about being put in a position of power. Shortly after that dream, he was sold into slavery by his brothers and then later wrongfully imprisoned. Thirteen years passed until his dream came to fruition.
Yet even in the waiting, God had a purpose for Joseph.
Here's 3 things to consider if you find yourself in a season of waiting:
1. Waiting can make you increasingly self-focused or others-focused.
2. It's natural to want out of the season of waiting, but continue to trust God in His timing.
3. Obedience and faithfulness don't always lead to immediate results, but consider the long-term possibilities.
