It is not in me.

Based on Genesis 41-42

"And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

Genesis 41:15‭-‬16

Lately, I've been feeling like I'm back in gym class, rounding the last lap of running the mile...except this last lap feels like it has lasted an eternity! That's probably just 9 ish months of pregnancy speaking, but more and more I realize-I just don't have it in me. I know everyone can say that for different reasons-every single one of us has hardships which run us to exhaustion. And we are right in saying that! It's absolutely not in us, or at least, it's not in our flesh & our own power that we can see anything accomplished. It's in the power of prayer & the Spirit of God which will truly make all the difference! Joseph was only able to give an interpretation because he relied on God. Our reliance on God needs to be our priority so we can actually do all the things & get the important things done!

"And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:"

Genesis 41:38‭-‬39

From dream interpreter to head of grain collection, along with being Pharaoh's right-hand-man, Joseph was able to do things which seemed far beyond his reach...all because he let God lead! If we don't let God lead, we will be scared to even take the first step...but when God goes before us, NOTHING can be against us! It wasn't in Joseph...and this realization was key in his accomplishment! But Pharaoh knew what WAS in Joseph-although the Holy Ghost wasn't poured out to receive yet, God's Spirit moved mightily, using Joseph and many others in the Bible in miraculous ways! Thankfully, we CAN receive this same Spirit today, and we will know we have it after praying, repenting & finally speaking in new tongues-a Heavenly language! When we are also baptized in Jesus' Name, we are set for salvation, and set on a path which leads us to things far greater than we could do on our own! It all starts with admitting it's not in us, but it's in The Spirit of God!
