I don't know if you've ever felt like life had pushed you past your breaking point. You had so much pressure on you that you didn't know what to do. I found out that the power comes from the pressure. I could use a lot of biblical examples of this, but I chose Joseph, because he said at the end of his life, after he saw what God's purpose had been all along, fully fulfilled, and he saw the portrait of it, not just one little part of it but the whole panoramic view, he was able to say to his brothers, "You meant it for evil…"
His brothers had pushed him into a pit. Have you ever been pushed around, ever been rejected? You might need to know this verse. He said, "You meant it for evil. You were pushing me, but while you were pushing, the hand of God was pulling."
He was pulling me. When it didn't go the way I wanted it to, when they talked about me, they were pushing. God was pulling. The hand of God has always been on your life. While people were pushing with one hand, God was pulling with the other. It's the power of the pull. God was positioning me for exactly where he wanted me to be. When you understand the power of the pull, life doesn't seem so random anymore. You understand that there was a purpose behind all of it.
