Joseph in Egypt
Genesis 37–41 shows how God can work through hardship to accomplish His purposes.
Joseph is sold into Egypt by his brothers and faces deep trials, including injustice and false accusation. Still, he chooses integrity and remains faithful to God, and the Lord lifts him from prison to leadership in Egypt.
When famine comes, Joseph helps Egypt prepare and becomes a source of provision for many. The crisis brings his brothers to Egypt and opens the door for changed hearts, repentance, and reconciliation as their family begins to heal.
