Life Without Limits

The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph’s charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper.  Genesis 39:23 (AMP)

The more I live, the more I realize that despite circumstances – there are no limits in life.  There are no dead-ends that God cannot extend the road to; there are no corners you can be painted into to, that God cannot create way of escape.  When all seems to be lost, God reminds us that He has provided us with a life without limits.  Joseph is a perfect example of this.

Joseph was a man who had lost his freedom, was sold into slavery, falsely accused of rape and was thrown into prison.  For some of us, this would have been it.  We would have been limited by the "Why me?" and the "Woe is me?", but not Joseph.  Regardless of the years he spent in jail, he didn't play the victim – he didn’t allow prison to limit him.  Eventually, he was released and elevated to the second highest position in the land, but while he was in jail – he remained faithful to God and continued to live life without limits.  We read that the warden placed him in charge of the prison and left him to run it as he saw fit.  In other words, he had free reign.

Today, the question is this - is there anything in your life making you feel as if you are in prison?  Well, consider the fact that God is with you and favors you!  So no matter the situation – you need not live as if it was the end.  Instead, you can live life without limits.
