Acts 7:9 The patriarchs, jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; but God was with him
You may or may not know this story, either from the Bible or from Andrew Lloyd Webber. Joseph was the favorite of the sons of Jacob. His other brothers got so angry and jealous about it that they sold him into slavery in Egypt. But as is so often the case with God's people, that was not the end of the story for Joseph.
God protected Joseph in his Egyptian slavery. God kept him safe and blessed him. Eventually Joseph rose from being a slave to being put in charge of the entire treasury of the whole nation, Pharoah's right hand man. All because, as the writer of Acts says: God was with him. And God is with you. God will always be with you, whether you're going to college or a new job or into retirement or into slavery in Egypt. God will always be with you.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
