  Speaker 1: Ed Share heard the body praise party. I am Sherry
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Mackie at his time, right now for today's word shine
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: right where you are. Genesis thirty nine and six says so.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Poteriphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: With Joseph there, he didn't worry about a thing except
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: what kind of food to eat. Life doesn't always unfold
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the way that we expected to. One moment, Joseph was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: his father's beloved son, wearing a coat that symbolized favor
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and promised. The next moment, he was betrayed by his
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: own brother, thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: taken far from everything familiar to him. His dreams seem
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: farther away than ever. Most people would have become bitter.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Most people would have complained blamed. Others are given up
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on the future. After all, Joseph had every reason to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: ask God, why is this happening to me? Yet Joseph
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: chose a different response. Instead of allowing his circumstances to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: define him, he allowed his character to define him. Even
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as a slave in Potiphar's house, Joseph worked with excellence.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: He remained faithful, He stayed positive, He honored God. He
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: refused to let disappointments steal his purpose. Joseph understood a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: principle that many people missed. Your circumstances may change, but
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: your commitment to excellention not. Joseph didn't spend his days
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: focus on what he had lost. He focused on being
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: faithful where with what God had placed in his hands. Well.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: As a result, God favored him. His favorite continued to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: rest upon Joseph. Potiphar noticed that there was something different
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: about Joseph. He saw integrity, he saw responsibility, He saw
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: someone who could be trusted. Before long, Joseph was managing
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the entire household. The same young man who arrived as
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a slave became a leader because he chose to show
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: right where he was planned. That's a lesson for all
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of us. There will be seasons when life feels unfair.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You may feel overlooked at work, unappreciated in your efforts,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: are frustrated by delaying your dreams. You may wonder why
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you're not further along, or why certain doors haven't open.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But don't let your current situation determine your attitude. Keep
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: showing up, keep being your best, keep honoring God. When
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you do the right thing while the wrong thing is happening,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: God is developing something valuable within you. He's building your faith,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's strengthening your character and preparing you for greater opportunities ahead. Remember,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Joseph's destiny wasn't destroyed by the pit, the slavery, or
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the setbacks. Those experiences were actually preparing him for the palace.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: See the same God who's with Joseph is with you today.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So wherever you are today, you choose to shine. Shine
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: through your attitude, shine through your integrity, shine through your faithfulness.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Because when God sees that he can trust your character,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: he'll open doors that no person, no matter their title,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: can should Father, God, thank you that your favor remains
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on our lives, regardless of our circumstances. Thank you that
• 3:18

• 3:22
  Speaker 1: for our good. Help us to remain faithful, positive, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: committed to excellence. Wherever you have us, strengthen our character,
• 3:31
