Genesis 49:33

For millennia, God’s people have been carrying out a weekly Bible study plan. Every year, they read through the Torah from Genesis to Deuteronomy. In synagogue each week, they read and study a Bible passage—the weekly parshah. This week’s parshah is called “Vayechi,” which is Hebrew for “and he lived,” and covers Genesis 47:28-50:26.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in life’s trials? Through Joseph’s story, Anne Graham Lotz and Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright reveal an incredible testimony of faith and perseverance in the face of devastating trials. In this 5-day devotional, discover how God’s presence, faithfulness, and purpose shine even in the darkest valleys. Wherever you find yourself today, God is at work. He won’t leave you there–He’s guiding you to His ultimate plan.

Like Joseph’s story, our own stories contain places of brokenness and experiences of rejection, jealousy, injustice, and grief. We also find glimpses of hope, perseverance, forgiveness, and unexpected blessing. This plan will guide you in an honest exploration of your own experiences and how they’ve shaped you. You’ll watch the God of Israel miraculously reconcile and restore Joseph and his family, while you reflect on your own journey of healing.

God’s plan from the beginning has been to save us from our sin and spiritual famine and to reconcile us to Himself, giving us peace and hope. This 7-day devotional by Anne Graham Lotz—through the lens of Joseph’s life—reveals how Jesus’ journey shows His presence in the shadows of Joseph’s story. No matter the trials you face, take heart in the promise that God won’t leave you there. He will bring you through.
