Praise and Thanksgiving
Story of Joseph (Genesis 37-41)
God has purpose in every moment and is always with us
Genesis 39:20-23, Deut. 31:6, Hebrews 13:5, Psalm 32:8
God working in the Meanwhile…
Praise the Lord for all the ways he has shown His presence and purpose during times of waiting, times of building, or even times of confusing circumstances
"But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did."
Genesis 39:20b-23
