Trust: A Study of Joseph for Persevering Through Life`s Challenges, Niznik Jodie

Josephs life looked charmed from the beginning. He was the favorite son of the favorite wife of Jacob, a wealthy patriarch. And Joseph was given a prophetic dream from God about his familys future. There was no reason to expect anything going wrong--and isnt it simple to have faith when all is well?

But one gift too many, and his ten jealous older brothers had had enough. They sold him into slavery--and kicked off years of Josephs world spinning out of control. Yet, in both dire circumstances and honored positions, he chose to trust God. In the end, God used Joseph to save the very family who betrayed him, and ultimately preserve the lineage of Jesus. Josephs lifes purpose was bigger than he ever anticipated.
