Psalm 105:19
“Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 105Meaning
Delay and testing stand between promise and outcome in Joseph's story.
Joseph suffers, is tested, and is raised to preserve life
Famine leads into Joseph's enslavement, testing, release, and appointment to authority.
Read carefully
The verse belongs to Joseph's specific biblical story, not a universal guarantee about private ambitions.
Reflection
Let Joseph's story challenge the assumption that delay means abandonment.
