Don’t Worry, God’s Got You!

I finished rereading the book of Genesis this past week, so I then read through the life of Joseph again. Joseph, as you know, became the object of jealousy and anger of his brothers because of Jacob’s preferential treatment of him. As a result, his brothers mistreated him and sold him as a slave in Egypt. Misery after misery happened in Joseph’s life. Down in Egypt, as a servant in Potiphar’s house, he was falsely accused and cast into prison. Many would have seen this as a time of terrible affliction. But Joseph helped two people in jail who had individual dreams but could not understand their meaning. Joseph enabled them. Then, one person he helped forgot him after getting out of prison. Joseph started to sing, “I thought I did what’s best. I thought I had the answers. I thought I chose the surest road, but that road brought me here.” It was a difficult situation.

If we are going to place ourselves in Joseph’s sandals, human as we are, I know we would be singing the same tune. What human being would not be affected by a series of life blows like that?

This book is a devotional study for the serious student of God’s Word and seeker of who God is and His character.

At the end of the journey, the reader will say, “God’s got us.” This devotional book is not an intense theological study but a practical, devotional type of education.
