And Joseph said to his Father, "Not so my father, for this one is the first born. place your right hand on his head." But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know........"
Often at our request or desire, may come the Father's refusal, or perhaps it's a reply to wait, or an okay, or worse yet an accommodation. I'm glad that the Father really knows best. His plans, His impeccable timing, His purposes and desired results, far outweigh our best thoughts and intents. Often not the desired answer we had hoped for, yet the quiet confidence of His love and best care for His beloved comes in the answer, I know, my child, I know.
