Joseph: You'll Get Through This

He was just 17 years old when his jealous brothers sold him into slavery and for the next 13 years, Joseph went from one pit to another. 

Perhaps you know what it’s like to live life in the pits. Life in the pits is an unexpected tumble. One day the sun is shining and next the clouds roll in and the bottom drops out. 

Life in the pits has an uncertain future. “What will I do now?” That which seemed to be clear is now foggy and frightening.

This was certainly true for Joseph. But somehow through all the mistreatment, betrayal, and abandonment, he never gave up on God. He never turned bitter or hateful. How?

If you’re in the pits today, let this message give you hope and strength.
