Genesis 41-42 Even when Joseph was in prison, God was at work behind the scenes. When Pharaoh had troubling dreams, God enabled Joseph to interpret them. For years, Joseph sat powerlessness in prison but overnight became the most powerful man in Egypt.

Genesis 39 When Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him, Joseph didn’t hesitate—he ran far and fast. Though he chose the path of righteousness, it led him directly into jail. Joseph’s work was seemingly finished, but God wasn’t done. He had only just begun.

Genesis 37-38 After sharing his God-inspired dream, Joseph’s life spiraled into a nightmare. Sold by his brothers to slave traders, once the favorite in Jacob’s household, he became the lowest in Potiphar’s palace. Still, God began to do what He does best…redeem.

Wrestling with God, Jacob entered the ring high and mighty but left it lowly and limping. He had won every fight up to that point, but in God more than met his match. God will do whatever it takes to get our attention—not to hurt us, but to help us.
