Just as God had not forgotten Joseph, so He has not forgotten you. Neither has He forgotten the desires, the longings He has placed in your heart. And at the right time, when you are ready, He will make these desires, these longings, come true. And like Joseph, you must make sure that you are ready to wear the right garment when that happenes. So change your garment of despair to a garment of praise as you can read in Isaiah 61:3
To bestow on them a crown of beauty instad of ashes, the oil of gladnes instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
It may be that you do not know that God has a plan for your life, just as He had for Joseph. In that case, you need to ask God for His plan for your life and then trust God to work in your life through your circumstances to make you ready to fulfill His plan for your life. Or it may be that you do know that God has a plan for your life but you have not seen it happen as yet. Don't give up hope for you are in training and when the training has finished God will use you for His purposes.Just be patient for God is at work even when you don't know it. Or it may be that you have gone through the training and you know that God has said, "Now is the time to serve Me in the way I have shown you."In that case, I would like to invite you to put on the garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair which may have crept in because of the long wait. Then go and serve the Lord in the way He has asked you to.
P.S. In my next post I will begin to share on A PURPOSEFUL LIFE; OLD TESTAMENT STORIES: GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD.
