As we wrapped up our study of Genesis in BSF this morning, something that stood out to me is that God will bless you if you keep faith in Him. This especially stood out in the case of Joseph’s life, which is recorded throughout the last chapters of Genesis.
His brothers want to kill him… he gets sold to be a slave instead. He works as a slave… but found favor and was placed in charge of the whole household. He gets thrown into jail… but becomes the person in command of all the prisoners. Whilst in prison for a crime he didn’t commit… he deciphers a dream for one of pharaoh’s staff. Gets forgotten for his correct dream interpretation… but then is remembered when Pharaoh is in need of a dream interpreter. Through all of this, Joseph remained faithful to God and gives the credit for his prosperity to Him. God blessed Joseph, helped him to prosper, and had a plan for Joseph through the hardship. Ultimately, God’s will will always prevail. Even if there are some bumps along the way due to the sin that rules this world. So I want to encourage you to draw near to Him in your current time of hardship. Lean on Him as you mourn the death of your child. God’s own son died. He can relate. God knows our sadness. He is sad with us. But He has established the ultimate gift for us of everlasting life. Our babies are in heaven without worry, fear, pain, or sin. And while we are here on earth, waiting to get back to our babies in heaven… God will bless us, if we keep faith in Him.
