This message invites us into a powerful exploration of redemption through the lens of Joseph's story in Genesis. We're reminded that our most painful seasons—the betrayals, delays, and moments that feel utterly wasted—are often where God does His deepest work. The central truth echoes throughout: 'But God.' These two words transform every narrative of loss into a testimony of restoration. Joseph was sold into slavery, falsely accused, imprisoned, and forgotten—yet God was orchestrating something magnificent behind the scenes. His brothers meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. This isn't just ancient history; it's our story too. When we face seasons where nothing seems to move at the speed we desire, when relationships fracture, when dreams appear dead, we're actually in a divine preparation phase. The message challenges us to see that delays aren't denials—they're development. God doesn't just save us; He redeems what was stolen, restores what was broken, and repurposes what looks wasted. Romans 8:28 becomes our anchor: in ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him. Our lowest points don't disqualify us; they prepare us. The palace often comes after the pit, and our greatest purpose frequently emerges from our deepest pain.
