Great end to our Genesis study. God prevailed and turned our trials into triumphs through a tough year. We identified with struggles of many of the characters like Joseph. Gen 50:20. What is your verse and which character spoke to you this year?

Wonderful time in our last BSF leaders meeting of the year. Genesis is rich with stories of God’s redemption of His broken people. How is He calling you to further His kingdom?

Over time, Jacob grew to recognize the protecting care of a loving Father over him and his family. Despite Jacob’s failings, God did not fail. God used the hard things in Jacob’s life, including messes of his own making, to break him of sinful patterns of thinking and behavior. He grew from a young man who practiced deception to an old man who stood on truth. God relentlessly pursued Jacob and challenged his faith. God graciously filled Jacob’s old age with unexpected joy, and his life ended with some of his finest moments!

Take time today to acknowledge God’s intentional faithfulness throughout your life. You may be awakened to realities you could otherwise miss!

God set up Joseph’s life to bring about His greater good. God was equally good during the hard years as on the day when He summoned His prepared servant from the prison to the palace. God is good in everything He does. This powerful truth can bring stabilizing perspective to a world where the news is often bad. Suffering and hardship do not feel good. Because God is good, He powerfully works through suffering to reveal His glory.

What trials are you going through that help you identify with Joseph’s story?

Have you noticed the painful cycle of trials in Joseph’s life? He repeatedly rose from humble positions to favor only to be disappointed again by even worse circumstances -- moving from pit to slavery to prison. Joseph’s suffering began with his brothers' betrayal, and it was 13 years before he experienced deliverance in the royal palace of Egypt. Joseph’s path was incredibly painful, but through it all, God’s plan was purposeful.

He is risen. In our notes from Lesson 24, page 5, we read in Joseph’s story from the Old Testament about holding fast during our trials in Genesis 39-40. Joseph’s and Jesus’ story of suffering and final glory are very similar. We know the end of the story from Jesus’ death and resurrection and God wins. Easter Sunday is a glorious preview of what will happen when sin is fully defeated. Happy Easter!

God was with Joseph in the cistern and in the prison. He is with you in your triumphs and your trials. Find encouragement in this attribute of God.

Joseph’s story is amazing. Join us in this study and find encouragement for life’s trials.

God wove tender experiences of His favor, presence and provision throughout Joseph’s story. He learned to trust God even when his visible circumstances were dire. He became a faithful steward who also showed sympathy to the hurting people around him. God used both the small things and the hard things to prepare Joseph for greater things. God is always with us and at work for our good -- even in our suffering.

Know someone who would find comfort and meaning in Joseph's story? Invite them to study his life with you at BSF! https://www.bsfinternational.org/try-bsf/
