BE READY & EXPECTANT

"So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh". Genesis 41:14 NIV

From our verse above, the sojourn of Joseph is about to reach it’s apex. He has had a remarkable life of just 30 years and has spent his entire adult life living in the land of the Egyptians. God made a way for Joseph out of his condition; God took the same thing that got him into prison to also bless him. This means God is able to take the same thing that got you into trouble and use it to get you out of trouble too. 

I want you to take note of three important things Joseph did from our text verse; He got up, "Shaved (the past)", "Changed his clothes (he got dressed for the future)" and "Showed Up (for the very moment God had prepared him for the last 30 years - Genesis 41:46). Yes, he showed up for the Blessings awaiting him, he showed up for the favors, he showed up for the best days of his life and he showed up for his future.

God is saying to you today to shave off your past (forget the hurt and pain), change your clothes for what's ahead and Show Up for all He has prepared for you. Be ready and expectant for the move of God in your life.
