[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Genesis Overview]] | [[Genesis 47]] ## Title: Prospering In Problem Times ## Scripture: (Genesis 47:27) “Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.” (NET) ## Observation: While the nation of Egypt was suffering and slowly losing everything into the hands of Pharaoh, the Lord was blessing the nation of Israel as they settled into their new home. This is not the home they wanted, but they were making the best of it. When they decided to go “all in” and trust the Lord was leading them, it turned out better than they probably hoped it would. When we decide we will embrace the change God has brought us to, we can find a new momentum we didn’t expect. This does not always mean we will prosper on the outside. There will be difficult seasons that God will allow into our lives for different reasons. However, He always goes with us and our soul prospers as we know He will take care of us through it all. ## Application: How can your soul prosper during the current season you are experiencing? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for taking difficult seasons and turning them into fertilizer for future growth.
