So, Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed. Genesis 47:11


In the book of Genesis, God delivered Joseph from slavery and elevated him to the second highest position in Egypt. The theme that runs through Joseph's life story is God’s faithfulness. God wasn't just guiding Joseph; He blessed him continually. Whether he was in the pit or the palace, Joseph's faith and God’s faithfulness carried him through every stage of life.


But those promises weren't just for Joseph! You and I can count on God's faithfulness in our lives as well. When I look back at the ups and downs of my own life, I can see how God was with me every step of the way. In our biggest trials, God knows exactly what’s going on, and He knows the final outcome. If you're in the middle of a trial, trust God!


  1. Trust God, He knows you intimately. Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely. Psalm 139:4


  1. Trust God, He knows when you are hurting. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry. Psalm 34:15


  1. Trust God's wisdom. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6


  1. Trust God's guidance. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go." Psalm 32:8


  1. Trust God’s promises. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matthew 24:35


  1. Trust God’s faithfulness. "But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay." Ezekiel 12:25


Just as God worked out all things for good in Joseph's life, He is willing and able to do the same for you as well. He knows what you are struggling with, and He has all the right answers. Trust Him, and find peace in the fact that He loves you. He knows your concerns, and He has a good plan for you that will not fail. Keep seeking Him, and he will safely guide you to the other side of your greatest trials!


“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me." Proverbs 8:17 (NLT)
