Having Faith
Even in difficult circumstances
Welcome to this lesson on lessons learned from Genesis 39:21. Throughout this lesson, we’ll explore how Joseph’s story from the Bible can offer important insights into our lives today.
Genesis 39:21
21 the Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Joseph was a man of great faith, and through his experience of betrayal and imprisonment, he faced adversity with resilience and calm assurance. It is in Genesis 39:21 where his story teaches us an important lesson. In this verse, Joseph is falsely accused and thrown into prison, and yet even faced with such hardship he openly acknowledges God’s hand and protection.
Joseph declared, "The Lord was with me; He showed me mercy and gave me success." Although Joseph was in a difficult situation, he still trusted in God to guide him and show him favour.
In the same way, we can also trust in God in any situation. We might find ourselves in difficult circumstances but we can place our faith in God to guard us and guide us through any issue. When life's toughest obstacles face us, we must remember to find hope and solace in the Lord, just as Joseph did.
Today, we can take Joseph’s story as an example of how to trust God even when it feels impossible. Even when circumstances don't make sense, we can rely on the Lord to provide us with wisdom and insight. Let us have faith that no matter what life throws at us, God will always be there with us every step of the way.
Joseph’s story teaches an important lesson to remember, that trusting in God is a choice we can make each day. Life might be hard, but if we trust in the Lord he will show us mercy and give us success.
Thank you for reading. I hope that this lesson on lessons learned from Genesis 39:21 is one you can start applying in your life today.
