am so delighted in seeing this posty today coz before loging onto my mail i was having this lengthy discussion with a colleague. We were talking about people who have made it in our society and the question was sould we try and imitate in their footsteps or should we leave God's footprints take precedents. i guess most of the guys of our generation do it the wrong way and that is through cheating and getting in dubious and ungodly deals (probably by following their role models).if we do it the God's way we will leve a fulfilled life.
What i also learnt about today is that God brought adversaries in Joseph's life for the name of God to be exalted. i encourage all of us guys who are facing situation especially during this Daniel's fast that in the midst of those situation, God is taking us into a place where His name is going to be exalted. Surely when that day comes we will say it just like Joseph, " it wasn`t you who brought me here, but God!". thanx Wex for such a powerful word!
