Young Adult Pastor Gary Jones continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.

Joseph did everything right: he worked hard, resisted temptation, and trusted God. Yet, in Genesis 40, he still ended up in a prison cell. Betrayed and forgotten. Yet in that darkness, God was not absent. He was preparing a man who would one day save nations.

And that's the hope for us, too. When faith feels pointless, or when prayers echo back empty, or when God seems quiet. The truth is, the pit isn't where God leaves you — it's where He shapes you. He refines your faith, teaches you to see others' pain, and proves He's still writing your story.

Even when you feel unseen… you are never forgotten.
