The Lord cannot exalt us, honour us before our enemies or ensure overflowing provision and protection in times of storms unless we keep both the battle and vengeance for Him. When people look at us or they interact with us, they must feel the love and the presence of God in and through us. There is nothing soul-fulfilling as praying for those who are not expecting anything good from us because of their own guilt. Follow Joseph's footsteps; God was there during His life and He is still present during your current life. Learn to find peace in each and every situation and slowly we are all going to be shouting, "Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow us, all the days of our lives." Romans 8:28-31 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
