It’s amazing how God can take the “bad” things in our lives and create “good” things! Joseph (Genesis 37-50) may be the very best example of this idea. How often did Joseph encounter circumstances that were “bad” and might have led Joseph to doubt or question God? But Joseph’s faith never wavered.
The story of Joseph is pivotal in Scripture. It represents the first steps in the promises that God made to Abraham – to make of his descendants a great people; a people with a Promised Land all their own.
