Jennifer McGill: Faithfulness
Jennifer’s story clearly illustrates that God works for us when we cry out to him. Joseph also experienced this. The hard times we experience often make it difficult to see God at work. Especially when we’re right in the middle of them! Yet, the situation that brings us to our knees may be just the push we need to move toward God. And to see that he is faithful... and is working for our good.

Small Group Instructions
Take some time to talk as a group about how things are going in life.
What has been the best part and hardest part of life since we last met? Pray for one another.
Who are others in your life who need to know Jesus? Spend a few minutes praying for each others’ friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.
In this, Joseph forgives his brothers for their betrayal. He also shows his trust that God is bringing these things about to accomplish his own purposes and for everyone’s good.
Read: Genesis 50:15-21
