END RESULTS
Today's reading: Genesis 44-47

"During the night God spoke to him in a vision, Jacob! Jacob! he called. Here I am, Jacob replied. I am God, the voice said, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will see to it that you become a great nation there." Genesis 46:2-3 NLT

God tells us to go.

God tells us He will go with us.

God tells us the end results will always be better than we could imagine.

God doesn't always tell us what to expect in the 'middle chapters', does He?

For Jacob, it was four hundred years of slavery for his family. Then a great nation and a homeland!

For Daniel, it was a lions' den and a fiery furnace. Then a repentant king and country.

For the disciples, it was a very bad Good Friday. Then a much grander Easter Sunday! 

Maybe, just maybe, you're in the 'middle chapters. It could be you've followed God to where He needed you, but you're finding out that what He needed you for is tough--really tough.

Go ahead and stand on the promises He gives for the faithful and committed. Go ahead and believe that in the final chapter you will find it to be worth it all. Go ahead and carry on until you hear, Well done, faithful servant.
