Reel Thoughts:
As I look back over this past week's bible readings, a few things come to mind. First, I don't believe that we always have to go through everything that we end up going through, in order to become the people we are. Our paths are determined by the choices we make. While God used Joseph's circumstances to His glory and to fulfill Joseph's potential, I'm not so sure that Joseph himself had to go through everything he went through. He learned an important lesson in humility along the way that can't be underestimated (something that he didn't have a strong grasp on in his early days). As for Jesus, well, He chose His path and He knew all along the road that He was taking. He willingly went where no man had gone before, in order to pave the way for all of us.
I heard a wise man say once, "i'd rather gain a lesson for free (via wisdom from someone else), than pay for it from experience". While the latter may be more valuable because you fully recognize it's worth, they both work just the same.
