Welcome to this week’s reflection in our Heros of the Old Testament series, where we explore the lives and faith journeys of key figures from the Bible—Joseph, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Moses. Through their stories, we seek to understand how God worked through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things, and what lessons we can apply to our own walk of faith.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve been journeying through the life of Joseph. We began with Joseph the Dreamer (Genesis 37:1–11), reflecting on how God spoke to Joseph through dreams and planted purpose in him from a young age. Last week, in God With Us (Genesis 39), we saw God’s presence with Joseph through betrayal and hardship, even as he was falsely accused and imprisoned.

This week, Anne continues the story with Genesis 41:1–36, where Joseph is suddenly brought before Pharaoh to interpret a troubling dream. After years of obscurity, God opens a door no one else could. It’s a pivotal moment that changes the course of Joseph’s life—and that of an entire nation.

Joseph’s journey shows us that God opens doors at the right time, even when we’ve experienced long seasons of waiting. His story reminds us to remain faithful, to trust that God is preparing us behind the scenes, and to be ready when the opportunity comes.

As we reflect on Joseph’s experience, we ask ourselves: Where might God be at work in our waiting? How can we stay faithful and hopeful in seasons of uncertainty?

Each week in this series, we delve into the lives of these Old Testament heros to discover how their faith, challenges, and obedience can guide and strengthen our own discipleship today.
