Sometime in life we face disappointments. It usually has to do with what we "expect" the other person to do. We become disappointed when they don't do or act the way we think they should, or how we "deserve." Joseph had a situation in life where his brothers turned on him. They were jealous because of the love Isaac had toward Joseph and dreams Joseph had about his family bowing down to him. To make sure that never happened, the brothers plotted to kill Joseph, but ended up (by God's hand) selling him into slavery. Betrayed by his own family! Don't you think that would be disappointment? Yet somehow Joseph was able to see "God's Hand" in all that life brought him. And when Joseph became ruler and his brothers bowed to him, he did not hate them. So that is how faith works. No matter what befalls us, God saw it afar off and brought this into our lives for our good. Are we able to not be disappointed and hurt and allow God to work in us His good pleasure? Think back to all your own disappointments, and probably a great majority resulted in people not doing what you thought they should do, thus you became hurt. From now on trust in God, like Joseph, and see God's hand in life working out in you only the best! Remember you, too, will be a ruler some day! Be blessed.
