Faithful people are catalysts. They will improve the circumstances of themselves and those around them no matter into what environment you place them. They serve as direct catalysts by personally obtaining the outcomes they seek through faith, as well as indirect catalysts when their examples give others reasons to believe that they might do the same.
Joseph, son of Jacob, was placed in a pit, but he ended up the second most powerful and the first most important man in the world. When he was put into slavery, he was made the commander of the slaves. When he was put into prison, he was made commander of the prison. Everything put into his hands prospered, because he had faith. He applied his ability to ideate and act to his surroundings, and he reshaped them in the image of the power of his mind. His story as recorded in scripture serves as a powerful example of what can be accomplished and demonstrated to others, through faith, even in the most trying of circumstances.
Faith doesn’t play favorites. It yields the same types of results for everyone who puts it into practice. You, too, will become a catalyst for improvement in this world as you deliberately strive to strengthen your faith.
