Do not criticize.

Laugh, do not criticize.  Share with all and be friendly and loving.

Do not be critical or fearful.

"God is not a God of disorder but of Peace."
1 Corinthians 14:33

I seem to be fascinated with people in power.
They have the ability to rule with integrity or fall to the temptations of sin.
It seems that the pull toward weakness and sin is so strong.

Joseph seems to be one of the stronger characters of the Bible.
Hit with betrayal, envy, false accusations and given positions of power,
he seemed able to handle these things by keeping a close walk with God.
How?  -By keeping his focus on God and not on his situation.

1.  Fill in the empty crevices of your time with ME.
2.  See Me in the uninteresting, the dull, the sinful, the critical, the miserable, the sweetness of old age, the laughter of children, the wisdom of middle age.
3.  Do not expect understanding from others about your spiritual motives and aspirations, and do not judge others for not giving it.
