Dive Deeper: Joseph, Shadow of Jesus - Dive Deeper - 365 Daily Devotion
365 Daily Devotions: Bible Character Edition
💁🏻 Who is Joseph? – God Is Faithful in Every Season
Joseph’s life looks like a long road with many turns. At first, he is loved by his father and given dreams from God. Then his life suddenly falls apart—he is hated by his brothers, thrown into a pit, and sold as a slave. Later, even when he does the right thing, he is sent to prison. But God never leaves Joseph. Step by step, God is quietly working. In God’s time, Joseph is lifted from prison to the palace. Joseph’s story teaches us that God’s plans do not fail, even when life feels confusing or painful. God rules over every season—good and hard—and He always keeps His promises.
