Life rarely goes the way we imagine. This was certainly true of Joseph. He knew he was his father’s favorite. His arrogance and pride created incredible envy in his brothers. These circumstances start Joseph on an amazing journey. We know how the story ends: he saves the nation from famine. A beautiful illustration of something meant for harm, God turned around for good. Application: God is present in life’s detours. Trust his purposes and seek the lessons to be learned.
