Any goal we set involves a risk. Running a race takes a lot of preparation just like any sport. We cannot expect instant success without putting the work. The same is true for our character and integrity. Practicing doing the right thing in small decisions every day leads to doing the right thing when we are tempted to take short cuts in bigger decisions. God will give us the grace we need in the moment but we need to look for His presence to receive His grace when the pressure hits. Joseph is a prime example in the Old Testament of a man who learned to trust God in the moment, which prepares him for huge responsibilities in a foreign country. Who knows what God is preparing you to do in the future as you trust him now.
