Imprisoned, Forgotten, and Waiting
Genesis 39:20b-41:1
Have you ever thought: “It’s not fair!’ “I don’t deserve this!” “Where are you God?” “Why don’t you answer me?” Joseph would understand our questions and discouragement. He himself was in prison for a crime he did not commit; He served others well only to be forgotten; and he had to wait in the darkness for years. Yet, He lived with strength and trust in the Lord. We can do the same!
Series: Joseph - Trusting God In Turbulent Times
Life can be very unfair. Those who are supposed to love us hurt us. People break promises or even betray us. You do the right thing, but bad things keep happening. You just can’t get a break! Joseph, the great-grandson of Abraham, went through all this and more. He faced turbulent times throughout his life, yet in spite of them, and even because of them he grew in faith. Joseph sets a positive example in negative times. His life is filled with examples of how we can grow in faith in Jesus Christ as we go through a pandemic, but it is just as applicable in any time of hardship or crisis. In this series we will learn how faith and fruit can grow as we trust God in turbulent times.
