Genesis 41:17-42:17
The first half of the story of Joseph in the Bible is a story of treachery, betrayal, and pain. Yet throughout those difficult years, God was still working in Joseph's life. For all of us, there are seasons of difficulty, but God promises that in due time you will reap a reward (Gal. 6:9). It is comforting to know that God never forgets those hidden moments of obedience. He never forgets those times of mistreatment that were undeserved. He never forgets the steps of faith we have taken that, in our minds, may not have turned out so good. He never forgets. And in due time, he will turn the tide.
Joseph had undergone a severe test. But the day came that Pharoah began to reward him. It is the same for us. Do not grow weary will well-doing. Your labor is not in vain. God is preparing you for rulership!
