- Adrian Rogers: When Nothing Seems to Make Sense (2248)
Scripture Passage: Genesis 39:20-23
What can we do when nothing seems to make sense?
Genesis 39 tells the story of a godly man named Joseph. Though he did nothing wrong, he was sold as a slave by his own brothers and bought by the head of the Egyptian guard, Potiphar.
Hardship continued when he was falsely accused of rape by Potiphar’s wife and cast into prison. He was completely innocent… this didn’t make sense!
Joseph exemplifies five principles for us to remember when nothing seems to make sense.
Don’t demand to understand. We can come to a time of perplexity, having done nothing wrong. In fact, many of God’s greatest saints walked in darkness for parts of their lives.
Darkness does not mean that sin has prevailed. Darkness cannot overcome light. If God takes away the light, simply trust God and do not demand to understand.
Don’t fail to be faithful. Joseph did not sulk in prison. Even there, in a time of persecution, Joseph served God. He was not a fair-weather Christian. In the darkness, he held onto what God promised him in the light.
Don’t bow to bitterness. There was not a shred of bitterness in Joseph, because He knew God was with him. In hard times, we need to be very careful not to become bitter. Adrian Rogers says, “...it’s not how you react when you’re punished for doing wrong, but how you react when you’re persecuted for doing right.”
Don’t be unwilling to wait. God knows where we are. The same God who was with Joseph in his youth was with him when he languished in prison. God is never late; He will bring us out in His time.
Don’t let dreams dissolve. Joseph never forgot his God-given dream from his youth. God never forgot it, either; it came to fruition in perfect timing. Adrian Rogers says, “There is coming a day when God will make everything right; don’t lose your faith when it doesn’t make sense to you.”
Don't let your dreams dissolve in the darkness.
God did not fail Joseph and He will not fail us.
Apply it to your life
Are you in a season when nothing seems to make sense?
Remember, as Adrian Rogers says, “Serve Jesus and never quit. Give Him your heart… your life. And don’t ever lose your dream.”

Our Behalf
WHERE is God's *'LOVE'* that allows those he supposedly loves to be relentlessly tried and pushed to the end of endurance? I hear the same song from Adrian Rogers as I've heard from other pastors, "God LOVES you' . If you saw someone abusing another person or an animal, would you not speak up? You're a perfect stranger and you would try to help, either by calling the police or stepping in. That's compassion. So how does God's LOVE inflict the very pain we need relief from? At the end of the day, that's all I want to know.
They would have killed me... So what many tried before too... they may have been only plotting what is most times inevitable... Im not bitter not the first time... Hopefully this kind of thing doesn't have to continue...
Joseph had a hundred reasons to be bitter... But was not?
He was human like us all sure he had his days he was not sinless or perfect but just learned as we will in time
Growth and spiritual maturity in Christ to help us get better each day while we’re here until we see him
Just becasue it’s not mentioned Dosent mean it wasn’t there it’s just not supposed to be the focus etc their are other places in the word you do see struggles complaining look at Jonah
This world loves not the ways, nor the attributes, nor the things of God! It is no wonder why the Antichrist will easily captivate the world and subdue it, for it is already subdued. The Antichrist is already in control, we are merely waiting for this son of perdition to appear.
Follow Jesus Christ, correct your life, do not pretend Sin does not matter. We must have self control.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Repent while you have a chance. Accept Jesus as your Lord and savior...... I know most will mock, but this is why the Bible said
Ecclesiastes 7:5 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
For the fool says there is no God. The byproduct is that same fool returning to his folly, as a Dog to its vomit..
