It is funny to me how we focus so much on being happy. How happy are you? Is happiness really a good moderator or should we rather look at how content we are? Yesterday we looked at how life can change to meet the path God has for us. How we can make plans that don't include God's plan for us. If we look again at Genesis 39, we will see that Joseph's life took a dramatic turn. Some may say it took a turn for the worse!
Joseph was in a position in Potiphar's house where the only person over him was Potiphar himself. When Potiphar's wife couldn't get her way with Joseph, she turned his life upside down. Her lack of control and self seeking attitude changed Joseph's life from a ruler of a high ranking household to a prisoner. Did Joseph curse God or wallow in self pity? No! He sought what God's purpose was for him now, in his new location and was blessed for his dedication.
Paul said "Be content in whatsoever state you are in." Can you say that?
