When I am able, by faith, to sense God's hand in my situation, my attitude will be right. When I'm able, by faith, to accept both location and situation, as good even if an evil process brought me there, my attitude will be right. This is the life lesson from Joseph. He clung to faith and 'saw' God with him in his location and in his situation and he was full of grace, diligence, and forgiveness. The Divine Exception made all the difference.
Life is grim, hard, and hopeless.
The only certainties, to use the wit of another, are death and taxes . There's the Divine Exception. He introduces a higher realm, a higher wisdom, a greater purpose than we may perceive in the moment. Friend, speaking of death brings me to the ultimate meaning of life- our eternal destiny. Many, if not most people plan to stand on the presentation of their own goodness.
