The compelling story of Joseph seems to always remind me of the work that God does in each of our lives as we walk with Him. Are you frustrated because of a lost house, a bad job, a bad marriage, a bad child? Perhaps you were wrongly accused, depressed about your situation, or simply don't feel like God is working in you. Or maybe you've even lost someone you love. I encourage you to read and study Genesis 37-45 so that you can see just how God works good for His purposes in those who live for Him, though many life events don't seem so good as you face them. Remember, if you are in Christ, your life is hidden with Christ in God, and He always has His eye on you. He is always working in you for His good pleasure. Joesph began his struggles not knowing He was in God's plan but he was all along. And so are you!
Genesis 45
4 So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near. And he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. 8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God.
