Sometimes life's disappointments can really makes
us feel set aside. However there could be a higher and greater purpose when
things don't line up the way we planned. Consider Joseph for a moment. At first
glance his life could look like a story of being set aside. He was thrown
into a pit then sold into slavery. All by the hands of his brother's who were
jealous because he was "daddy's favorite". And that's just the beginning of his 13
year ordeal where most of it was spent forgotten in prison for something he did
not do. Well if that's all we knew about the story we would surmise, yes he was
set aside. However because we know the whole story, we know what Gods
ultimate plan was for Joseph. We realize he was really being set apart not
aside. He had been given an assignment that required preparation. Sometimes
God's preparation for our life requires a season of being set apart. Don't
mistake that season for being set aside. Like Joseph, know at the end of that
season you will be able to confidently say ....what was intended to harm me, God
intended for good to accomplish what is now being done, so I could save the
lives of many people.
Stay abiding in Him.
you're being set apart for something greater then you know.
