Suffering And Sovereignty

When reading the story of Joseph we are constantly reminded that while his story again and again seems to be ending, to be over; Joseph thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, delivered to prison… God’s story is always been written overtop our own stories. Whatever his circumstances, God was with Joseph, and showed him His steadfast love. Applying this to our own lives we discover: suffering on it’s own can ruin you, but suffering with God’s love transforms you. Today we examine how God was at work in Joseph, and is still at work in us.
