After his falling out with Esau, Jacob left home, married two wives, and fathered twelve sons. His son Joseph was his favorite. Joseph’s brothers became jealous of him, so they sold him into slavery. But they told their father, Jacob, that Joseph was killed by wild animals. Slave traders took Joseph to Egypt where he worked in the household of Potiphar. From Potiphar’s house, Joseph ended up in an Egyptian prison. Then through an unlikely turn of events, he ultimately became a ruler in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh himself. Through Joseph’s faithfulness, we see that God still worked everything for good in spite of the difficulties Joseph faced. We can trust God to do that in our lives too.
