GOD CAN PRESERVE YOU IN THE PROCESS

Scripture Reading

Genesis 37:18-28

"But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy... — Genesis 39:21"

Reflection

DEVOTIONAL Joseph’s brothers planned against him, but their actions did not erase God’s purpose. Even when Joseph was taken away from the familiar and placed in an uncomfortable environment, God was still able to work through his journey. Sometimes, the process toward what God has prepared for you may involve seasons of uncertainty. You may not have all the answers, and you may feel as though you have been pushed far away from where you thought you would be. Yet, God’s presence is not limited to comfortable places. He can strengthen you in unfamiliar seasons, use difficult experiences to develop your character, and bring helpers into your path. Trusting God does not mean ignoring danger or refusing help. It means continuing to seek Him, making wise decisions, and remembering that hardship does not have to destroy your future. REFLECTION What is this season teaching me about patience and character? Who are the wise and trustworthy people God has placed around me? What practical step can I take today instead of allowing fear to stop me? DECLARATION I declare that I am not abandoned in my process. God is with me in every season. I receive strength, wisdom, and the grace to endure difficulties without losing hope. The lessons of this season will contribute to my growth, and I will continue to walk in God’s purpose. Amen.

Prayer

Father, be my strength in every difficult season. Help me recognize the support You provide through people and opportunities. Give me wisdom to make safe and responsible choices while trusting Your guidance. In Jesus’ name, amen.
