My favorite character from the Old Testament is Joseph and nobody can testify to those hard knocks in life more than he can. Being sold into slavery by his brothers.Then being imprisoned after being falsely accused by his owner’s wife. These hard knocks eventually opened doors to opportunity and greatness. Many years later his brothers had to face this man of great power in Egypt to whom Joseph simply replied “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.” Genesis 20:50
When faced with those hard knocks we can also claim Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
