| Hey Friend, |
Life is not always easy. In fact, sometimes, it plain hurts. But, thankfully, when life gets ugly, God brings hope. I know He is doing that for Debbie, a sweet friend of mine who had a lumpectomy yesterday. I admire her resolve because she is not letting a diagnosis of her circumstances determine her destiny. Neither did Joseph.
When issues try to defeat us, we need glimpse of our future. We need a dream from heaven. I hope that as you read Two-Time Loser you'll be encouraged to believe for your own triumph over adversity. And don't forget to check out the scriptures and questions to ponder. I know as you study God's word, He will bring life!
He never fails!

He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him (Ps 91:15).
 If you've ever been a teacher's pet, you may have noticed-the only one who likes you...
is the teacher.
Kids probably made fun of you behind your back. They may have even plotted your assassination on the playground.
The book of Genesis tells a story about Joseph, the favorite son of his father. His father gave him a coat of many colors, a distinguishing gift that set him apart. Joseph wore it proudly like a letterman's jacket.
When he was 17, Joseph had a dream that he and his brothers were binding sheaves of grain when suddenly his sheaf rose up and the others gathered around his and bowed down. He shared his dream with his brothers.
Big mistake.
His brothers weren't so fond of his vision. In fact, they despised him so much they plotted his death. Instead, they sold him to Egyptian slave traders and stole his coat.
The richly ornamented robe given to him by his father represented Joseph's status, his future and his destiny. And now, not only was Joseph a victim of attempted murder and human trafficking, a reject plucked from his home and family, but his identity was stolen as well.
Most people would want to give up. Many would be angry with God. Others would withdraw, abandon hope and give up on their dreams-but not Joseph. He waited on the Lord and God caused favor to rest on him. He was placed in Potiphar's house, one of Pharaoh's officials, as an overseer. The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered (Gen 39:2).
Even in bondage, God's hand was upon Joseph.
But again, someone tried to strip him of his honor. When Joseph refused the sexual advances of Potiphar's wife, she stole his robe and accused him of rape.
What is it about Joseph and his robe? Now he's...read the rest
