Joseph's life was a rollercoaster of unfair events. He was hated by his brothers, sold as a slave, falsely accused, and thrown into a dungeon. From the outside, it looked like God had completely abandoned him. But the Bible repeats one phrase over and over: 'The LORD was with Joseph.' This lesson helps children understand that experiencing hardship doesn't mean God has left them. God is the master at taking things meant for evil and using them for ultimate good.
