WALKING WITH JOSEPH THROUGH GENESIS: FROM TEST TO TESTIMONY

✝️ "When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant." — Genesis 39:3-4

Joseph couldn't see the full picture while he was living through it.
Neither can we.
Yet God has a way of transforming trials into testimony and messes into messages.

🤔 What difficult experience has shaped who you are today?
🤔 How might your story encourage someone else?

WALKING WITH JOSEPH THROUGH GENESIS: CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE

✝️ "‘We both had dreams,’ they answered, ‘but there is no one to interpret them.’ Then Joseph said to them, ‘Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me your dreams.’" — Genesis 40:8

There's a big difference between looking AT a trial and looking THROUGH it.
One focuses on the obstacle.
The other asks what might be beyond it.

🤔 What challenge are you currently looking at?
🤔 What changes when you begin looking through it toward a future outcome?

WALKING WITH JOSEPH THROUGH GENESIS: WHAT IF THE TEST IS PREPARING YOU?

✝️ "But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison." — Genesis 40:14

Joseph's hardships weren't the end of his story.
The tests he faced became preparation for what God would do later.
What if the challenge you're facing today is shaping you for tomorrow?

🤔 Have you ever recognized the purpose of a difficult season only after it was over?
🤔 What might God be teaching you right now?
