In the story of Joseph in Genesis 39:1-23, there is a phrase that is repeated again and again.

“The LORD was with him” “여호와께서 요셉과 함께 하시므로”

There was a hidden hand of God behind Joseph’s life.

God’s hand was invisible, but it was surely there with Joseph.

What amazes me the most is that God began to intervene not only in Joseph’s life, but also in the lives of his brothers.

We can see it because the story ends and we know how it went. But, in the middle of the story, Joseph didn’t realize it.

The other brothers didn’t realize it. And their father, Jacob, didn't realize it. 

But “the LORD was with him” indeed in every single step Joseph took. 

Can you still believe and wait like Joseph, especially in times of hardship?

Can you hold on to the truth that the LORD is with you through the Holy Spirit He has poured out upon you? 

A ship’s true character is revealed in the storm. It is through hardship that your true character is shaped and revealed.

No matter what kind of situation we face, one thing we should always remember is God’s promise:

The Lord is with us. His love and His goodness never leave us, but continue to run after us.
