Topic: GOD’S PURPOSE IN DIFFICULT SEASONS.
Scripture: “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”— Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)
Life’s difficult seasons often feel overwhelming and confusing, but through the story of Joseph in Genesis, we learn that God has a purpose in every challenge. Joseph endured betrayal, false accusations, and imprisonment, yet he trusted God through it all. What others meant for harm, God turned into a great blessing—not only for Joseph but for an entire nation.
Difficult seasons test our faith, but they also position us for God’s greater purpose. Sometimes, the hardships we face are necessary for us to grow, to rely on God, and to prepare for the blessings He has in store. Even when it seems that evil is prevailing, God is always working behind the scenes for good. He has the power to turn every challenge into an opportunity to shape us and impact others through our testimony.
If you’re in a tough season today, remember Joseph’s story. Trust that God is in control and working all things together for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28). What seems painful now may very well be the path to a greater purpose.
Prayer:
Father, help me trust in your purpose, even in the difficult seasons of my life. Strengthen my faith and remind me that you are working all things for good, just as You did for Joseph. Amen.
