Many times in our lives, things happen that are difficult to understand. We might face difficulties or uncertainties and wonder what God’s plan is, or why He would allow us to suffer. The story of Joseph is a great reminder that God is always with us and has a plan that will bless us. We can trust that He is at work and will provide. Even confusing and troubling situations can be a gift when we know that He works for our good. 

 God gives us what we need. He loves each and every one of us, and He has a special plan for every step of our lives! It can be frustrating when we don’t know what is up ahead, but we rest knowing that God holds the future. We might go through hard things, but they work together for God’s purposes. Most importantly, we know that God has given us Jesus, who provides Eternal Life and salvation. Even if things don’t work out as we might want now, a Heavenly home awaits us someday!
