Living Life with a Purpose | Vivir la vida con Propósito | Pastor Frazier Gonzales
This powerful message invites us into the extraordinary life of Joseph, a man whose story demonstrates that our greatest trials can become the pathway to our divine purpose. From the age of 17 when he was betrayed and sold by his own brothers, through false accusations and imprisonment, to finally becoming second-in-command of all Egypt at age 30, Joseph's journey spans 13 years of waiting, suffering, and faithfulness. Yet through it all, one truth remained constant: God's favor rested upon him. What makes this story so compelling for us today is the reminder that God's timing rarely matches our expectations. Joseph couldn't see the full picture when he was thrown into a pit or locked in a dungeon, but God was orchestrating every detail to position him to save not just a nation, but the entire known world from famine. This challenges us to reconsider our own seasons of waiting and difficulty. Perhaps what we've labeled as delay or defeat is actually divine preparation. The message calls us to surrender our plans, goals, and timelines to God, trusting that His purpose unfolds step by step, piece by piece, like connecting dots or assembling a puzzle. When the picture is complete, we'll see the beauty of His design. This year becomes an invitation to live with intentional purpose, not driven by our emotions or ambitions, but guided by intimate connection with our Heavenly Father who sees the end from the beginning.
