I Thought God Was IN It, So Why Did It Turn OUT This Way?

Please pray God gives me wisdom. I am praying for wisdom for a relationship that I thought was my husband, but now, I am not sure about, and it ended badly and with miscommunication, which has been hard. Also, I am praying for wisdom in what God's plan is for me/what He is telling me/to be able to hear Him. Thank you so much!

This is so true! One of the biggest misconceptions... People will tell you God is not in it if things look like they are not working, or God doesn't want it, because the opposite happens, but you do not know if it is part of God's plan, the journey. That's why you shouldn't wait for the pastor or someone to tell you, God said yes or God said No, or stop praying about something, but trust God. Speak to God. And Joseph's story is ONE of the many great examples of this in the bible.

I'm single, a Christian, and I want to be married to a good Christian woman if that is God's will. I have asked God if that is his will for me but I don't know the answer yet. I'm scared that He may not want me to be married at all ever. If He wants me to be married I have prayed that God leads me and my wife to each other and to have a good marriage.

[@Korenski23VO]

I was 100% sure about the career God was calling me to, but within a few short years I had such a horrible experience that I not only wanted to quit, but I became 100 % convinced God wanted me to quit to. I got so confused why God led me to work so hard toward something only for it to crash and burn. All my mentors and those around agreed that 1) god led me to be a teacher and 2) god is totally cool if I never teach again Now I’m very sure he took me through that painful dreadful depressing experience to prepare me for what I do now. It doesn’t seem like it makes any sense. I’m an actor. That seems to be the opposite of an elementary school teacher. But one thing you learn after a year of teaching 6th graders is how to ignore constant daily rejection and judgment. And that’s also one thing that actors face regularly as well. I don’t give a crap what anyone in Hollywood or the film industry thinks negatively about me. I spent a year crying because I wanted my students to realize that I deeply cared for them and had to enforce the rules the school required whether I agreed with them or not. Students didn’t understand. They didn’t think I did everything I did to help them have a good life and education. In 6th grade you only care about having fun. Pain is not some Hollywood executive thinking I’m too ugly for their lead character. Pain is when little Georgie’s parents move him for the 4th time to another school because his testing results have come in again and they won’t accept the fact that he’s reading at a Kindergarten level in 6th grade and needs extra help to get on track. Pain is when you find out that the reason Eric is only in class 3 days out of 5 a week, and when he’s there he’s always picking fights with kids at school, talking during your lessons and throwing tantrums in class that make you, as a new teacher look bad, is because he’s actually homeless and has only one parent he occasionally sees. Pain is when after a school year of trying to help 30 kids from various difficult life situations to care about school, even though they may not even have ample food or clothing , you realize that it’s a losing battle. Your students still hate school and they haven’t had some miraculous turn around story like they do on “To Sir with Love” because this ain’t Hollywood. The real world is much harder . Pain is when you gave your absolute best, worked harder than you ever did before and poured your heart and soul into something to the point of losing sleep, crying daily and giving up weekends to work on it more, only to fail and later realize you probably would have been more successful if you worked less hard. God could have sent me straight into a career as an actor. But if he did I never would have been as strong as I am today . And when I get enough income I hope to donate to schools and be an activist for school reform because too many kids are being left behind today , and guess what? Standardized testing is not the solution. I can completely relate to Joseph and I would even venture to say that I would rather be sold into slavery than go through the pain of my year as a teacher again. Feeling like you are letting down little children is sometimes more painful than being physically beaten or being a slave. At least to me. But like Joseph I am now in the right place at the right time and God will use the past to hurl me into his better plan for my future

[@kimberlywarkentin1096]

I have read this story many times throughout my life and it never fails to amaze me. The strength and power that Joseph felt going through these trials and coming out on top. Everytime its told, I hear it with new ears and it helps to have a fresh take on how to view it. I am in awe that Joseph never felt defeated, he has a lot of courage to go from being thrown into a prison to rising above and ultimately doing it with an altruistic heart. Makes me want to have that much courage in my own life and also share that strength with others.

[@elijahmountainfire888]

GOD's plans are moving in His speed. His time is not our time. Many lose their faith that their prayers will be answered because of impatience. So they give up and move on to something else. But The Lord is working on our lives day and night. Our Father never sleeps, nor does He need to rest.

[@ronamonald]

I love the story of Joseph and whenever I think about my journey and where God has taken me I always refer to this story. Especially the time from vision/dream to reality and Joseph had the dream/vision as a young man but didn’t become reality until many years later but like you said and the scripture says that God was with Him every step of the way and gave him favor all the way through and not once do I remember reading that Joseph complained or was angry at God for going through what he went through... He trusted God and probably in the back of his mind he remembered those visions/dreams he had and maybe that’s what kept him going also. And also throughout that in between period I believe God was preparing him for those dreams/visions God had implanted in him when he was younger. I’ve definitely hit rough patches and questioning if God was in this journey and even my calling because at times things didn’t turn out right for me but God reminder me that everything I’ve experienced good or bad throughout this journey was part of the process and journey and part of me growing more in my faith and learning to trust God even more and even using those rough patches to be part of a beautiful story and journey. Thanks for speaking life into people with these videos 😊

I learned that recently too. If the confirmed we received so many times, it does not mean things will happen smoothly. Looks like throughout scripture, God never made his promise come to pass so easily, Abraham, Joseph, Israel as a nation. We need to faith to continue pressing on and completely surrender it

[@BrookeLynn-sr6vy]

Yea my first home was such a peaceful process to get into and then within 3 months I had the most difficult neighbors then I moved and same thing has happened. I also thought well God wasnt in it, I made a big mistake 2x. But now I believe he allowed all of it because I had no clue about home buying or this location. I was definitely led by him here. I look forward to continuing to do his will. It has to be for a purpose. Amen!

[@tinaspinks5402]

I'm going through a heart-wrenching life-changing breakup with someone that I can't even believe that I had the privilege of knowing. I know the Lord was in it from beginning to end as we both put God in the center of it all. Our tireless times of prayer together loving and healing each other in so many ways was an endless stream of confirmation as God answered all of our prayers and I can't believe that the relationship seems to be over. I Now understand that I'm in the middle of something. The Sovereign decision that God has planned for my life. Yes I do hope/believe that we can be together again someday.. but I also know that the Lord's perfect will is being done no matter the outcome. So thank you for this Word. It was so perfect and Timely God richly bless you and your family.😢❤

Yup. Trying to save our home from foreclosure. I held off till the last minute. I barely packed. I didnt look too seriously for apartments i was convinced we would keep our home. Nope we wound up in an apartment for 2 years and some things were better.. it was so much more affordable this place wasnt full of unfinished projects but i still wondered what happened. Now we moved to VA from WI to be by out daughter and grandbaby but i still wonder and dont understand the whole situation with our home. I always prayed that if we were supposed to just let it go we would. Id start thinking forward but i never heard God say we were to let go of the house.

Oh my goodness God is gonna do it - but before hand , God told me “you will get the grades but you won’t get the offer “ and that’s exactly what happened to me …

Same thing happened to me with law school. I received a prophecy that I was going law school in 2007…got denied from all four schools I applied to. I was legit flabbergasted and lost. God promised me that I was going to law school and I did not get into one. I went to business school and a few years later, law school came back up again. I applied and got into all four and because I started my business degree at the same school I applied to, I was able to combine my degrees and got a joint degree. Took longer than I expected and I went on a journey I wasn’t anticipating BUT it worked out in the end

Hey Kaci, I realize this is an old video and you probably won’t see this but God just spoke directly to my situation through you. I recently thought God had finally brought me my future spouse, and it ended in heartbreak and I could not understand why because every sign was pointing towards this person. And for some reason the story of Joseph was on my mind yesterday and I was talking about it with my friend. We prayed and I prayed a lot that God would show me where he is in all this and it’s unbelievable that I got led here to you talking about my exact experience using the story of Joseph.

I came across your channel and have just been so uplifted by many of your videos, particular this one and your videos on singleness. I actually was engaged, with my wedding set for next weekend. But a few weeks ago a pretty traumatic experience happened in our relationship and we broke off the engagement. It’s been hard for me as I’ve watched all my other friends get married and wrestled with how this situation fits in with Gods love and care for me. You have helped me see I am not alone in my desire for a healthy marriage and the difficulty in trusting God with that timing. Your words have given me encouragement and perspective and you have inspired me to dig deeper into my faith and daily time with him. You are so genuine and kind hearted and have become one of my new favorite KZbinrs. Thank you for what you are doing ❤️

[@kacinicole]

Sydney first of all, I am SO sorry to hear about your broken engagement. I can only imagine what you are experiencing right now 😔I think it's so incredible that in this, you are choosing to dig deeper into your faith and time with Jesus. I am so confident He will use this time to grow you beyond what you could imagine - though I know that doesn't make the here and now easy. I am praying for you now! Continue to draw near to Him - He is near to you 💛also thank you so much for your kind words - they are genuinely SUCH an encouragement to me!

God put the guy that I really like and I as friends for now so we can get to know each other and grow closer. It was revealed on Sunday when the guy said “let’s be friends for right now” and it hurt so bad but God is letting me know that he’s still in it. It’s just a detour

Would love prayers to reconnect with God on a deeper level. My "Joseph" time was several years ago and right now God has blessed my life immensely! But I struggle to trust it and to trust God and there are still scars and wounds from that time several years ago. This was a wonderful encouragement and reminder for me but would still love prayers to reconnect with and trust God deeply again.

[@kacinicole]

[@ie3555]

I’m glad that when I came across this video a while ago I saved it for times like these. Learning how to drive has been very important to me for a long time yet I’ve had every circumstance working against me. I have seldom people who have a car in my life and yet their not willing to help me so of course all I have is god. I’ve been having the hardest time learning how to drive well enough for me to be tested for my drivers license. I’ve taken lessons for a year sporadically and I had no one to help me practice besides my instructors. My instructors haven’t been accommodating to my circumstances of only having them to rely on to teach me and practice with, amongst other behaviors and actions that make me not satisfied with their services that I poured so much into already. I got to the point where my instructor felt like I was ready to be tested back in May but I didn’t even get to be tested because my nerves took over and I performed so poorly that I figured I wouldn’t waste anyone’s time when I’m not in the right space and in not even sure of myself. It didn’t help that my driving instructor would make assumptions that makes me question myself when I felt like I was ready and was previously showing that I was ready. So I was given more opportunities to practice with my instructor before they would test me and yet they never did… Until today because I had to apply pressure if I wanted to get my license before I leave for college and the same thing happened, I didn’t even get to be tested. I’m so defeated that I didn’t get to take my test and get my license. I talked with god so profusely because I’m so serious about having a license. It’s the least I could do since I have seriously needed a car for so many reasons, but obviously god disagrees. I went in my own strength at this because I still have driving anxiety and I asked god to handle the rest. Instead I came out more embarrassed than I was last time I wasn’t doing well enough to be tested. I’m not exactly ready to be encouraged to keep going but today I came to a few conclusions and I hope god will give me direction.

Hi Kaci Nicole, just wanted to say thank you so much for this message. I've been praying about this for so long, and I feel like the penny finally dropped.

I felt moved recently to apply for a PhD program in the US but felt trapped by the "purpose" I thought I saw in moving my life here.

Hey Kaci! I don’t wanna come across as rude, but I wanted to let you know that Jacob actually had 10 sons and they were 10 of the tribes of Israel, the other two tribes were from the sons of Joseph. Joseph did not have his own tribe, but his sons did. I researched this the other day because I was confused about it. I think I read somewhere that God especially blessed Joseph so he had two tribes that came from him. But I love your message and this video is so encouraging and helpful to me!! I love how you take scripture and look at it historically and put it in context, and then apply it to our lives, not trying to apply our lives to the Bible but apply the Bible to our lives, if that makes sense. I think that’s exactly how we should preach and teach scripture!

[@kacinicole]

Hi Hailey! I didn't think that comes across rude at all! It's always good to be clear on what the Bible is saying 😊I did some more research on it too (check Genesis 35:23-26), and Jacob did have 12 sons: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Those became the 12 tribes of Israel with the exception of Joseph - like you said, Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh were adopted by Jacob (their grandfather), and Joseph's tribe was divided in two between them. Hope that helps clear things up! I'm so glad though, that the video was helpful and encouraging to you! I totally agree! We shouldn't mold the Bible to fit our lives but let our lives be molded by it. Thank you so much for watching! 💛

[@NarnianLady]

I have come to learn that a lot depends on the Body of Christ coming together - aka, other people doing their part as well. God sure is almighty - still, He expects us all to hear Him, to obey, to be yielded to His direction and nudging. Sometimes things don't work out the way we hoped, is because of those reasons. Just because there was disappointment, does not mean God was not in it - even if all else failed, but we truly took a step of faith, He honours it - and knows how to redeem that. Someone wise said somewhere that God does not reward outward success - He rewards obedience.. so even if it was horrible, we took the step relying on Him. Not minimising the emotional devastation that disappointment can cause, but saying that He is greater still! (talking out of own experience here..)

We always say that God will speak to us and God will show you His will. He Himself says it in James 1:5. He also says that if He is our delight, He'll give us the desires of our heart. If He's confirming something and you're believing Him for it in faith - how do either of those verses have truth if he really intends something opposite? That quote said if you're following God, He may lead you to a horrible, painful place - how is that love? We like to say the right things; that it's all worth it because it grows our faith and leads us closer to God and we learn all these lesson but, the reality is, when God confirms something and then doesn't show up and it is the most important thing to you, it breaks your faith. It leads you to distrust His character. And in the aftermath of total silence and abandonment, it shatters your heart to learn the promises of the Bible are not tangible. How can you say that God is trustworthy when He confirms something and then takes it away?

Hi Ashley! At the end of Joseph's story he says, "what they (his brothers) meant for evil, God meant for good." God didn't force Joseph's brothers to sell him into slavery, but He was sovereign over it, and He did use it. What I said about the "horrible, no good place" is that just because Joseph found himself there, doesn't mean he heard God wrong or took a wrong turn somewhere. God did give him those dreams, and then He used the sinful actions of people (his brothers selling him into slavery, Potiphar's wife accusing him) to bring him to a place where God was going to use him to fulfill a much bigger purpose. The path looked nothing like I'm sure he imagined, yet God was in it in the sense that He was using every bit of it to orchestrate His prevailing purpose. I don't think God ever confirms something then doesn't follow through (Numbers 23:19, Joshua 21:45, Hebrews 13:8). But I think sometimes we see God's hand in a situation, and assume that means we'll get the outcome we want. When in reality, maybe God's hand is in the situation, but His purpose in it is something entirely different than we think. What you're saying - about when your heart feels shattered and your faith feels broken because it seems like God didn't come through for you - I've been there. If that's where you are right now, I'm truly so sorry. The hope of Joseph's story is that it may seem like God didn't come through for you or that He forgot you or that He didn't follow through on something you spoke to you...but if that's where you are, that's not the end of your story. Imagine if Joseph gave up in the pit or the prison? He would have never seen that those things were but plot points in the bigger story God was writing, and that God WAS faithful to Him, and did fulfill His word. I know He is faithful to you and me too, even if it doesn't make sense right now 💛

We can’t write our own poetic story. May our Sovereign Lord be the writer of our special story. Surrender is the answer to all. Praise God!
