What do we do when we face the darkest valley's of our lives. The pits. The times we are betrayed, let down, and wounded. We hate valley times. But From Joseph life we discover God is still at work in the darkest valleys of our lives. In fact, He intentionally leads us there.
"Resist" is a common rallying cry in our culture. However, as followers of God we are called to resist the ways of the world. As we finish our journey through Genesis we'll discover a man who resisted revenge, sexual temptation, and dependence on the ways of the world.
Life's unfair. We all know it. But in unfair situations we tend to fight for we believe our rights are. At least that's the way the world works. But the Kingdom of God is upside down. In Genesis 40 we see Joseph in an unfair situation because of Potiphar's wife. He does nothing wrong but ends up in prison. From his life we learn: God doesn't care about what's fair; He cares that our heart is surrendered.
