God’s plan and will for Joseph (2)

Although Joseph was sold as a slave to Potiphar, an Egyptian and the captain of the guard,

And was forced to be separated from his beloved family and became the slave in the foreign country,

He prospered because the Lord was with Joseph (Gen. 39:1-2).

Even his master, Potiphar, an unbeliever, said saw that the Lord was with Joseph

And that the Lord gave him success in everything he did (v. 3).

Since Joseph found favor in his master’s eyes,

he became his attendant and Potiphar put Joseph in charge of his household,

and he entrusted to his care everything he owned (v. 4).

As a result, from that time onward, God blessed the household of Potiphar because of Joseph (v. 5).

Why did God do that? 

What was God's plan and will for Joseph?

Even in lonely situations where you can't be with your loved ones, God is with you.

Even if your loved ones hate you and forsake you God loves you and is always with you.

And God makes you prosperous.

God even make a non-believer around you to see

that God makes you to be prosperous by being with you.

And God exalts you by making you to be found favor in the non-believer’s eyes.

Also, God blesses that non-believer’s household or business for your sake.

Why does God do that?

What is God’s plan and will for you?

Even if we don’t know fully what His will is,

We must believe that God’s will is always “good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom. 12:2).
