My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

God uses unique circumstances to get you in the right spot - Psalm 105-107
In Psalm 105:16-24 we have a section where the writer uses the story of Joseph to make a point about God's working in the lives of Israel. The emphasis of the story is that God used a bad circumstance in Joseph's life to move him to a place of leadership and eventual power to rescue and save the nation of Israel. God allowed the anger and jealous of his brothers to work against Joseph to place him in Pharaoh's land. He then used the evilness of a women and the power of a man to put Joseph in the exact spot to be able to help the kings servants. God uses unusual circumstances to move us around for Him. Don't look at your current circumstances as something you dictate or something you design. Don't look at them as something others are doing to you but rather something God is using to accomplish His greater purpose. God is in control of the smallest details of our life. Rest in His working and look for that purpose ... you might just rescue others and cause them to become stronger than their adversaries (105;24).
