While We Wait: Joseph

While We Wait: Joseph      

 

Things can seem tough. We can do the right thing and still have things not work out. We can and will be treated unjustly. Joseph was sold by his brothers and unjustly imprisoned. Joseph had no idea if his wait in jail would be days, years, or decades. What did he do while he faced a totally unknown wait? No matter our circumstances, we can choose to make the world a better place, to be a contribution while we wait.

 

This week’s #WholeLifeTakeAways:

 

·     What makes waiting harder for you to endure?

 

·     What makes waiting more tolerable for you?

 

·     Why do you think that “relational waiting” can be extra painful?

 

·     For you, how hard is the delayed gratification kind of waiting?

 

·     Who was the “family favorite” and how could you tell?

 

·     Were you ever punished for something you didn’t do? How did it feel?

 

·     How would you cope if you were in prison but weren’t guilty and had no idea if or when you might get out?

 

·     What enables us to willingly to engage in redemptive suffering?
