In every moment of Joseph’s story, God was with him. From his brothers’ betrayal and serving Potiphar, to a friend of Pharaoh and the savior of his family, at no time was Joseph forgotten by God. Through the good and the bad, he trusted that God knew who he was and had faith that everything would be all right.
We don’t always know what trials or blessings await us, but we do know that so long as we are faithful to the Lord, we will feel His love and be given the strength to carry on. Learning from Joseph’s example of faith, we can seek out our own “answer of peace” during hard times (Genesis 41:16).

Family Activity
Teach that sometimes we have dreams that have special meaning, but we may not know what the dream means. Heavenly Father helped Joseph understand what Pharaoh’s dream meant. There would be seven years that the fields would grow lots of food, followed by seven years of famine when the crops would not grow. When Joseph told the Pharaoh the meaning of his dream, Pharaoh made Joseph a leader. Joseph collected the food so that the people would have food during the famine. Hide the printable fruits and vegetables around your house. With your child, collect the food. Share your testimony that Heavenly Father will help us know what to do to help our families.

Abraham’s posterity was promised many blessings of eternal significance, but that didn’t mean everything would be perfect. His grandsons, Jacob and Esau, fought over who should inherit their father’s birthright. Relatives lied to and tricked each other. The prophet’s very own family was dysfunctional, yet that didn’t stop those who were righteous from striving to follow Jesus Christ.
Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.
