Blessings on the Ministeio @Steemchurch. Speaking of José, not only leads us to hope and confidence. We must understand that God does not always meet our needs immediately or in the way we expect. Why not? Because it is often redirecting us or preparing us for something new. The life of Joseph in the Old Testament gives us a perfect example of this.

While Joseph had a vow that he would one day be a great ruler (Gen. 37: 6-10), the realization of that dream took a long time. In fact, before God lifted Joseph, he took him to the lowest point imaginable: to jail, for a false accusation.

Why did God take so long to free Joseph from his chains and empower him?
Answer: For a more important purpose to be fulfilled, that is, that he can learn to depend on the Lord, regardless of his circumstances. By his faithful obedience and trust during his darkest moments, God was able to save Joseph's entire family and the nation of Egypt from a terrible famine (Gen. 45: 5-8).

Similarly, while God is in the process of redirecting our lives, sometimes it takes time to meet some needs. For what reason? So that your plan can be fulfilled for us and for others.
