26 joseph

Father, Your faithfulness has no limit. Through some extraordinarily difficult times You blessed Joseph. It is a reminder that You are "God among us". Most of us are not likely to be sold into slavery by our families. Sold to a nation that despises us. But there are those in the world that live with that fear. We lift those people up to You, Lord. We know in those dark places there are not many people shining Your light. We pray Lord that You would reach out to those people especially the children that get taken so young. The boys in Uganda and throughout several countries in Africa who are kidnapped, drugged, and forced to murder often their own parents. The women throughout the world that are sold through human trafficking to lives of drugs and prostitution. Lord You have shown us in Your son Joseph that You can raise one up from among them. You can raise up a leader that will change the world. You have shown that You will reward their faithfulness. Lord we pray that they might hear. We pray that You would reveal Yourself to them. That they would know You and spread Your praise. We lift up the missionaries that risk it all to reach and rescue these enslaved people. We pray that You bless their hands to do Your work. That Your kingdom would see exponential growth in these countries. A movement of believers so massive that the whole world is forced to take notice.

for how can they believe what they have never heard
