Blessed for Success - Genesis 39

Imagine one day you are going about your business and suddenly a group of men bundle you inside a van, kidnap you. You realise that you’ve been human trafficked. Not only do you end up as a slave, but because of the type of things you’re forced to do, you then end up in prison with a life sentence. You would surely think God has left you, break down in hopelessness. While the probability of something like this happening to any of us is very low, the point is that when we’re plunged into tragic circumstances, our tendency is to think that we’re living outside of God’s will and that he’s somehow abandoned us.

This is precisely what happened to Joseph – he was sold into slavery and ended up in prison. Yet, God never abandoned him. In fact, this was all part of God’s good and perfect will for Joseph – God worked out his plan for Joseph’s life in the midst of being in the valley of the shadow of death. What we will see this morning is that because God is with us, he sustains us through good times and bad times.

Preacher: Rev. Antonio Coppola.
