This book uses Joseph’s story from the Bible to show us hope
even in the roughest of times. You remember Joseph from the Bible don’t you?
You know the one with the coat of many colors who dreams dreams and gets sold
into slavery by his brothers. Several times in Joseph’s life it looked like
things could not get any worse, but Joseph did not give up hope. And God
numerous times took a grave situation and changed it for His own good.
Joseph did not give up hope on God. You should not either.
There is hope for hard times. It is not going to be easy. Life seldom is but
there is always hope in God. We must
never give up and think that evil has won. That God can’t make good on His
promise to work all things together for good for those who love Him. The same pattern
has been shown over and over and over in the Bible. Max calls it “Evil. God.
Good.” Evil happens – We do something we shouldn’t have or maybe we do nothing
wrong at all but something bad still happens. We are overwhelmed. God takes the
situation and works with it. Good results. Over and over this pattern is in the
Bible. And over and over again God wins out.
Even in the ultimate situation when Jesus was nailed to the
cross. Satan thought he had won. He had God right where he wanted Him. Satan
was probably sure that nothing could destroy his plan now. But God always wins!
Always! Satan missed the big picture. And in the moment where Jesus hung on the
cross, God had His ultimate victory – Victory over sin and death!
Never doubt for a moment that God can’t do the same in your
life. He can take any situation and use it for good! If you need a little
encouragement I would highly recommend this book!
