Does God have a plan? Sometimes we see the chaos and upheaval in the world and we wonder how God could be at work in such a mess. At other times our own lives seem out of control. Job uncertainties, financial pressures, families problems, and health issues make us question what God is doing, or if he's there at all. This week we begin a study through the life of Joseph in the Old Testament. Joseph experienced a series of devastating hardships: betrayals, slavery, false accusations, prison, and abandonment. And yet the Lord had a plan for Joseph's good, for the saving of thousands of lives, and for the ultimate redemption of the world.
