This is not something that is easy to do. Just like the person in this video, I don\u2019t want to jump when it doesn\u2019t look safe. But, God knows the plan. God sees things we can\u2019t see. This is why we need to let God lead us, in the good times and the bad times.<\/p>\n<p>Read the story of Joseph. If you have the Jesus Storybook Bible, it\u2019s called The Forgiving Prince. Or pick up your Bible and read Genesis 37 and 39 to 45. Or, you can watch this video again.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"God&#039;s Story: Joseph\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/66760375?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>1. How many brothers did Joseph have?<\/p>\n<p>2. Joseph\u2019s brothers made a very bad decision, what was it?<\/p>\n<p>3. Would you like to be a slave? How would you feel if you were forced to be a slave, far away from home and away from your family?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m thinking Joseph probably wasn\u2019t super happy and joyful about being a slave, but God was still with him, and Joseph found a way to stay focused on God.<\/p>\n<p>4. Later, Joseph goes to jail for something he didn\u2019t do. Have you ever been punished for something you didn\u2019t do? How did it make you feel? What did you do?<\/p>\n<p>Well, even though this other bad, unfair thing happened to Joseph, God was still with him. God won\u2019t stop all the bad and unfair things from happening. Why? Because, God gave us the freedom to make our own choices. This means that we can still make bad choices and other people can still make bad choices. But, no matter what, God will always be with us.<\/p>\n<p>5. Even though bad things were happening, Joseph did not turn away from God. He continued to trust God, he continued to listen to God. Joseph was known for being able to understand dreams. How was he able to do this?<\/p>\n<p>6. What was Pharoah\u2019s dream? What did the dream mean?<\/p>\n<p>7. How does the story end? Was God\u2019s plan for Joseph good or bad?<\/p>\n<p>Joseph trusted the promise that God would carry him safe to shore. When bad things happen to you, will you stay focused on God? Will you trust God\u2019s plan for you and trust that God will bring you safe to shore?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rend Collective - My Lighthouse (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/reAlJKv7ptU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Truth About You\u2026My Lighthouse Trusting God\u2019s Plan \u201cSend me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.\u201d Psalm 43:3 Let\u2019s start with this.
