Whenever we talk about God’s plan, we usually reflect about it from retrospect.
In other words, we usually see the wonder of God’s plan only after when it has happened and then we are able to connect the dots together.
But when God’s plan was unfolding in our lives, we may not understand it.
In fact, we may be rather perturbed and disturbed by it.
In the 1st reading, though Joseph was much loved by his father but he was much hated by his brothers.
And then his brothers hatched a plan to kill him but later they changed their minds and sold him off as a slave.
Joseph was certainly distressed by what was happening to him, but he endured it.
It can be said that he had the faith to believe that his life is in God’s hands and that God had a plan for him.
Indeed, God not only had a plan for Joseph, God also had a plan for His people and Joseph was going to be a major part in God’s plan.
So when life is going rough and heavy, and we are perturbed and disturbed and even in distress, let us hold on to our faith in God.
Let us believe that God has a plan for us, and with faith, we will journey on and we will be able to see the wonder of God’s plan.
