Genesis 41:1-46
Affliction, mistreatment, persecution, hardship, and pain often characterise the Christian walk. We see that truth in Peter’s words when he says: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you” (1 Peter 4:12).
In life, testing is more often than not “par for the course.” But sometimes God rescues us from our plight, bringing us into new circumstances. For thirteen years Joseph had been a slave in Egypt. But God was faithful; He never abandoned Joseph. And all the while, His plans for Joseph were in motion, leading Joseph to the cusp of his release from prison and an unexpected blessing. Through Joseph’s example, we should be encouraged to trust God—even in difficult times of waiting.
