Life is sometimes very difficult. Some of us have had real evil done to us. Some of us have done real evil our selves. Yet the Bible tells us that our good God is in control, intending everything for his good and saving purposes.

If you recognised the grace of God in your life and began to give yourself completely over to it - how would that change you? It was on his deathbed that Jacob saw the truth most clearly, and it made him cross his hands.

What are you staking your future on? As god's people travel down to Egypt, God reassures them that he has provided, presently provides and will go on providing. No one who stakes their future on Jesus Christ will be put to shame.

What kind of person does God choose to carry out his work in the world? How can we tell whether he is present with a person? What does it look like for a person to have his blessing and favour? We find answers to these things in the test, travesty and truth of Genesis 39.

If God is in control, why do things seem so messed up? Joseph's story is one of the longest treatments of that question in the Bible. The story of Genesis 37 shows sin running rampant and God seems completely absent. But look a little closer, and you will see his intimate, personal involvement at every point.

Some commands can make you rejoice. Isaiah gives us three commands from God - Rise and shine; Open your eyes; Wait and see. If we hear and obey these commands, we will have reason to rejoice.
