Another thing the Apostles’ Creed tells us about God revolves around his providence. It’s easy to recognize the presence of God when things are going well: the sun is shining, you have plenty of money in the bank, you’re healthy. But what about cloudy days, when the doctor brings bad news, or relationships seem to be coming apart? Where is God when pain and sorrow come? From Joseph we learn that God is still with us, even in times of greatest darkness. Sometimes, we find that God is with us in these times most of all.
Scripture: Genesis 45:1-8; 50:19-21
