What do you do when you thought God was leading you one way, but your life suddenly goes in the opposite direction? How do you stay faithful when you feel betrayed, misunderstood, forgotten, or stuck?…

Our opening scripture left off with a 17-year-old Joseph who tended sheep along with his brothers.
But he was favored by his father, Jacob, who in turn made a very special robe for him to wear.
He made this special robe for his one son out of all these sons to wear, probably marking him for clan leadership and to take over as Jacob's successor one day.
So let's just say this favoritism did not help with brotherly affections for Joseph.
Joseph did not help either, but this already put him in a bad light, okay? because Joseph's brothers already hated him.
And then Joseph, sweet, youthful teenager, does not quite use as much wisdom as he probably should.
And he goes on to tell his brothers about not one dream, which we read about, but a second dream of them coming before him and bowing low before their young brother, Joseph.
Like sweet Joseph, like what were you thinking, right? Zeal without knowledge is not good, but he had some zeal.
This hatred in the hearts of his brothers would build up so much that when they see him coming from a distance, he's coming to check on them because he would kind of go spy and to give a report back to his father.
Genesis 37, 19 says, this is the brothers talking, "'Here comes a dreamer,' they said.
"'Then we'll see what becomes of his dreams.'" His brother Reuben realizes this would not end well for them.
And instead of killing him, they sell him for 20 pieces of silver to traders passing by, and they take him to Egypt.
