It's a wonderful life

Fellow Labourers-

How do you respond to the statement "It's a wonderful life." Not sure? Life can be wonderful when we find ourselves in the will of God. Brother Kirk made an invaluable observation last night, when he said Joseph although a slave in Potiphar's house he was prosperous. You see prosperity may be measured in many ways, but when it is measured by God's measurement it makes a world of difference.

When my life is hid with Christ in God it can be nothing else but a wonderful life. It's a life that may seem to have twists and turns, but a life that guarantees God's favour. Having the favour of God cannot be compared with anything else in this life. What Joseph had was the favour of God. And so in every step of his life the texts tell us "And God was with Joseph." Yes indeed "it's a wonderful life" when God leads us.

"He leadeth me! O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
What-e'er I do, where-e'er I be,
Still tis God's hand that leadeth me.

He leadeth me he leadeth me
By his own hands he leadeth me.
His faithful follower I would be,
For by his hands he leadeth me."

Pax Vobiscum
