All the generations who moved into Egypt. The new pharaoh had no memory or knowledge of Joseph. I think it is interesting how time has and affect on us. I wonder if the people of Israel were like a frog in a slowly warming pot a water. Did they not notice any problem at first? I think what I wrestle with is the fact that God is sovereign in all he does. I see pain, injustice, and wrong through my eyes but God sees His perfect will and work. If it were not for God’s faithfulness to us we would be lost. Continue Reading…

Joseph’s perseverance while trusting God: Genesis 45 and 46
The story of Joseph is such an encouragement to me. I look at how he saw God’s will and desire at the heart of what happened.

God’s blessing found in difficulty: Genesis 37 and 38
It is a wonderful blessing that the dismal ending of the story of Joseph doesn’t end after chapter 37.

He knew exactly what was happening and it was for the good of Jacob’s entire family. I know I can lack that trust at times to know that God is sufficient and able to do anything. Continue Reading…
Joseph throughout his journey is never forgotten by God
As I sit here listening to an audio Bible I am amazed of the story of Joseph. I think of all the pain and despair that must have gone through Joseph’s mind as he was sold by his brothers. He was sent into prison and forgotten after serving faithfully Potiphar when he was accused by Potiphar’s Wife. He served in prison and helped the baker and cupbearer interpret their dreams.
