God has ways of bringing unexpected good out of situations where hope seems lost. Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt and falsely accused and sent to prison, where he was forgotten for years. But God restored him and placed him in a position of authority directly under Pharoah, where he was able to save many lives; including the lives of his brothers who'd abandon him. There in Egypt, Joseph married and had children. He named the second Ephraim (drawn from the Hebrew term for Twice Fruitful) and gave this reason - It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.
Even the hardest places in our lives can become fertile ground for God to help and bless many. Our Savior's love and power never change and He's always faithful to those who trust in Him.
All powerful Father, I praise You that nothing is too hard for You! Thank You for Your perfect faithfulness, today and forever.
