What if Joseph hadn’t grown through his trials—would God’s promise to Abraham’s line, fulfilled in Jesus, have taken another path?
God’s plans can’t be thwarted—He sees the end from the start. Yet, He works through flawed humans like us, and Joseph’s story shows how growth in adversity can change everything.
Joseph, Jacob’s eleventh son, dreamed he’d rule his brothers—a vision that sparked their jealousy. They sold him into slavery, faking his death.
In Egypt, betrayal piled on: falsely accused, he landed in prison. But God was weaving a plan. Joseph’s gift for interpreting dreams lifted him from chains to Egypt’s second-in-command, where his wisdom during a famine saved nations—including his own family.
This wasn’t luck.
Joseph grew through every blow—overcoming bitterness as a slave, building trust in Potiphar’s house, leading in prison, and finally wielding power with grace.
Without that growth, he couldn’t have been God’s instrument.
Like Joseph, you might be in a hard place—trapped by circumstances you didn’t choose. Yet, God can use it for good. The key? Grow where you are.
It’s tough, costly even, to face trials with faith. But stagnation costs more. Your growth might not just save you—it could change someone else’s story. So don’t give up. Trust God with tomorrow and take one step to bloom today.
