I've always been inspired by the story of Joseph of Egypt. Each time he succeeded, he was dealt a difficult setback. How easily he could have turned against God and blamed Him for allowing such horrible things to happen to him when he was trying so hard to do right. Instead, he trusted that the Lord had a greater plan. Each difficulty moved Joseph another step closer to where the Lord needed him. But not only that, his difficulties had another purpose. They made him into the type of person that could see what the Lord needed of him when he got there.
