Genesis 39:1-5 NKJV – “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.”

 

One of the most powerful truths repeated throughout Joseph’s life is this: the Lord was with Joseph. Even in difficult seasons, uncertainty, and hardship, God never left him. Sometimes we focus so much on God’s provision that we overlook the incredible gift of His presence. Today, be encouraged and thankful that no matter what you face, God is with you. His presence strengthens, guides, comforts, and carries us through every season of life.
