Who Pushed Me?

Contributed by Suzan Aturo Mugabi on Aug 2, 2021

Every one of us has been through situations that you wouldn’t have willingly accepted if you had the opportunity to choose, yet they later turned out to work for your greater good.

Joseph In The Pit Series

Joseph’s story, as told in the Bible, is a beautiful illustration of how God’s purpose can be found in our pain.

The Forgiveness Of Joseph

Contributed by Kimberly Belken on Aug 30, 2020

Though Joseph's brothers intended to harm him, God intended to work through their actions for good. Ultimately this truth allowed Joseph to forgive his brothers. Forgiveness may sometimes be a decision we have to make but we can do so trusting that God will work good through it.

Jacob or ...read more

When someone asks us how things are going, we smile and say, “GREAT!” How we are different from one another is often revealed not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the HARD TIMES! One thing we all seem to do during HARD TIMES is turn to our friends for some sound advice. Often what we get ...read more

There were 10 step-brothers, and they hated their step-brother. They stripped away Joseph's coat of many colors. They could not strip away the blessings. God replaced the coat of many colors with a new coat of authority and a ring of gold... the dreams came true.
