| DISCOMBOBULATED |
There are times when we may feel that God is not communicating with us, and we begin to feel a lot of confusion. We feel lost and disoriented about how and where He is even leading us as we stand at the crossroads trying to figure out what to do and which way to go. We wonder, “Why aren’t my prayers being answered?”
Young Joseph received a dream of greatness at the tender age of 17. People were going to be humbly bowing down to him. From 17 years old and until the dream came to pass, Joseph endured many hard trials. It must’ve been terribly confusing remembering the dream and seeing what he was going through at the time. The two did not seem to match up.
In Genesis 39 it says twice that the Lord was with Joseph. That says it all. Even though Joseph may have been confused about the events happening to him, he was still in the presence of God, and God had not left him for a minute.
The experiences in Joseph’s life taught him that God brings inherent good from bad situations, for those who trust Him. He has the ability to overrule evil intentions to bring about His intended purpose.
Romans 8:28 NKJV And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Discombobulated means to be confused and distressed.
But recombobulate means to cause to think clearly again; to reorient and
put back into working order.
