An entitled shepherd surrounded by favoritism and bitterness. A victim of betrayal and an evil plot. A slave in a strange land, promoted then accused. A forgotten prisoner turned into an interpreter of dreams, only to be remembered at the last moment. A ruler, uplifted and set over the land, second only to Pharaoh. A savior to all, including his own family. This is Joseph. A man battered by the circumstances of life, yet someone who grew to understand a very powerful Truth. In the midst of all he experienced, Joseph chose to trust in the sovereignty of God. As his faith grew, Joseph knew that whatever happened in life, whatever circumstances came, his Lord would use it for good. Throughout our lives, we will also feel battered by the circumstances dealt to us. What will they find in us? Do we struggle? Do we fold to the overwhelming? Or do we trust in a loving, all-knowing, all-powerful God? As we walk through his life in the next weeks, may we grow in our faith like Joseph did, so that we can say, “God means it for good”. In this 12 week study from Reaching Her we will: Identify the dangers of favoritism. - Create a plan to fight temptation. - Learn how to wait well. - Internalize God’s sovereign character, how He always remembers us and has a specific plan for our lives. - Understand the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. - Accept the manifold blessings of God. - Practice how to deal with the circumstances of life, seeing God’s goodness even in suffering. Joseph: Meant For Good is designed to help you engage with God through His Word, as well as connect and grow within a community. Each of the twelve weeks comes equipped with discussion/discipleship questions for you to use personally, in a discipleship relationship, or within a group.
