You’re Not Going through It Alone - Daily Hope with Rick Warren - April 20, 2026

“Jacob’s sons became jealous of their brother Joseph and sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him and brought him safely through all his troubles.” Acts 7:9-10(GNT)

When faced with great adversity and hardship, Joseph remained resilient because he depended on God’s presence, no matter where he was.

There’s a phrase that’s used five times in Joseph’s story—and anytime something is said five times in Scripture, God wants you to pay close attention. This phrase is essentially, “The Lord was with Joseph.”

Acts 7:9-10 says, “Jacob’s sons became jealous of their brother Joseph and sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him and brought him safely through all his troubles” (GNT).

Jospeh knew that no matter what the setback was, God was with him. God was with Joseph when his brothers threw him in the pit and when they sold him to the traders. God brought him safely through all his troubles.

We are all called to send and be sent, each of us. Through our prayers and resources, we support those who are vocationally sharing the gospel, and in our personal circles, we share the gospel as we have opportunity. A life devoted to sending and being sent is a joyful life as we watch God move in ways we could have never have planned or imagined on our own.

Spring is also the time of year we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, which is the greatest hope of life we all have. There is no better way to celebrate hope and life than with singing.

Explore a powerful reflection on faith and disappointment, revealing how to navigate challenging seasons when circumstances seem to contradict God's promises. Discover why God's faithfulness endures even when our own falters and how to trust His perfect ways beyond human expectation.
