You Know Better Than I

*I typed out my post, had some technical difficulties, lost my entire post, and had to rewrite everything. 

I did learn why I had technical difficulties. What can you do?*

I have always loved reading the story of Joseph. When I was in college, I remember having QT (devotions) through the book of Genesis. I had wanted to see how the stories in Genesis flowed into Joseph's story. I read a small passage each day because I didn't want to miss anything. It took me a month and half before I got to Joseph. I wanted to know how Joseph had endured his painful past and allowed God to help him to forgive... so that he could live. There was such beauty, heartbreak, and challenge.

Can you tell where I am in my Bible reading?

The world saw Joseph and laughed. They saw someone who they thought had been forsaken by God. Joseph's brothers hated him so much that they wanted to murder him. They ended up selling him as a slave so that, at least, they could earn a profit. He became a slave, was falsely accused, put into prison, and left there to rot.

God saw something that the world could not. He saw someone that could be used for His glory. He saw someone that He could pour His blessings upon. He saw someone that He dearly loved.

There is an animated version of Joseph's life. I watched it many times with my children and the children at church. Unfortunately, the dvd broke. Fortunately, for those of you with Netflix, it is there for you to watch at any time.

I am so glad that He knows better than I...

You Know Better Than I

I thought I did what's right

I thought I had the answers

I thought I chose the surest road

But that road brought me here

So I put up a fight

And told you how to help me

Now just when I have given up

The truth is coming clear

Chorus

You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to now why

For You know better than I

If this has been a test

I cannot see the reason

But maybe knowing

I don't know is part of getting through

I tried to do what's best

But faith has made it easy

To see the best thing I can do

Is to put my trust in You.

Chorus

For, You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

For You know better than I

Coda:

I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky

I saw a bird and thought that I could follow

But it was You taught that bird to fly

If I let You reach me

Will You teach me.

Repeat Chorus

For, You know better than I

You know the way

I've let go the need to know why

I'll take what answers you supply

You know better than I
