Genesis 37:28 Some Midian merchants passed by, and the brothers pulled Joseph up from the pit, agreed to pay twenty shekels of silver, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites. They took Joseph to Egypt.
When he was young, he was trafficked by his brothers to far away. You say, Joseph, is he unlucky? Unlucky!
Genesis 39:12-14 The woman grabbed his clothes and said, "Sleep with me!" Joseph threw the clothes into the woman's hand and ran outside. The woman saw Joseph put his clothes in her hand and ran out, so she called the family and said to them, "Look! He brought a Hebrew into our house to tease us. He arrived. When I come here to sleep with me, I will yell out loud."
Finally, he managed to get ahead in the minister’s house. The minister gave Joseph to take care of everything except his own food. However, because he refused to accept the seduction of the minister’s wife, he was splashed with dirty water and lost everything. Go down to the prison. You say, Joseph, is he unlucky? Unlucky!
Genesis 40:20-23 On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he set up a banquet for all his servants and brought the butler and baker to prison, so that the butler was restored to his duties. He still handed the cup in the hands of Pharaoh; but Hang up the baker, as Joseph explained to them. The butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
It's not easy to get out of the prison again, grabbing the life-saving straw of the butler, and helping the butler to interpret his dreams, hoping that the butler can help him and regain his freedom. But when the "surviving" butler returned to the king, he turned his face and refused to recognize him. He completely forgot Joseph's kindness. You say, can Joseph be any more unlucky! He is really unlucky!
Jack in "Unlucky Eros" is also unlucky. He didn't go out a day and came back intact. Therefore, he has a treasure chest to deal with all bruises and all the chaos. Unfortunately, his ignorance was washed away, but it did not diminish his hope for life. therefore. When good luck came, he began to grow rapidly.
Like Joseph, when the opportunity came, he was promoted directly from the prisoner to the prime minister next to the king.
So, is bad luck a bad thing? It is, it is a bad thing, and no one hopes that bad luck will happen to him. But if it is unimpeded in our lives, how should we face it? Raise your hand passively to surrender?
If you respond positively, bad luck may still happen, but if you surrender passively, then bad luck will definitely happen again.
Therefore, if you are like Jack, learning from one unlucky thing after another, avoiding all things with potential risk factors; if you are like Joseph, in any situation, he humblely learns and gives, and he concentrates on God. Wait for God to turn all the bad things into unparalleled good things.
Let's look back at this film and think about it. Is Jack really unlucky? Although he is really a "broom star", he really has a lot of beautiful things. For example, accepting his family unconditionally, no matter what, they are willing to believe in his last band and the true love in his life. He said to Ashley, I don't think I was unlucky, because I met you and I own you.
Joseph was not unlucky. Although he was sold by his brothers, he had previously harvested the unique and deep love of his old father. The Bible says that Jacob loved Joseph more than his sons, and he only made Joseph a colored dress. Although he was misunderstood by the ministers, forgotten by the butler, and spent many years as a slave and prisoner, the Bible says that Jehovah was with Joseph and that Jehovah made everything that Joseph did well.
If you always stare at the bad things in life, you will miss a lot of good things.
When we are constantly rehearsing our bad luck, we should also think about the good things. Maybe, good things make good things, and a little good thing turns into a lot of good things.
Wish you have a good peanut today!
