"The Pursuit of Character"
I started reading a book called The Character of Leadership: Nine Qualities that Define Great Leaders By Jeff Iorg. The title of chapter one is The Quest for Character.
In this chapter, Jeff Iorg uses the story of Joseph from the book of Genesis to illustrate how God supervises our circumstances. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph declared, “You (his brothers) planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result - the survival of many people.” Jeff states that “this deep conviction - that God supervises your circumstances and will accomplish good through them - can be called ‘the Joseph principle.’”
The apostle Paul told the church in Rome in Romans 5:3-5, “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” When we have a Biblical perspective on our circumstances and acknowledge that God is at work and in control, our faith will not waver.
Here are some questions to reflect on: How have you seen “the Joseph principle” at work in your life? What did you learn from those experiences about who you are and your trust in God? What was the good result that came out of those circumstances?
Take a moment to give thanks to the Lord God Almighty for his faithfulness and ability to turn evil into good.
