KAOBAK 37:28

The life of Joseph is one of the most amazing stories in the Bible. It displays the faithfulness of God that causes him to experience great victory after going through some of the most painful and difficult times in his life. Through rejection, betrayal, false accusation, bondage and despair, Joseph rose from the ashes of yesterday and walked into the divine destiny that God had for him.

Worship leader, songwriter, author and educator Toni LaShaun Wortherly gives a brief guide to gratitude. This devotional plan, and the song of the same title, are written to encourage people to be grateful for Who God is and all He does, to appreciate all blessings and to avoid the noise that distracts from an attitude of gratitude. We should take on a posture of praise and give God glory!

How do you respond when someone upsets you? Do you get angry? Are you sad? Do you sneak into their house at night and spread Legos all over their floor? Join in as we explore what Jesus calls us to do with our grudges (Spoiler alert: we are called to forgive!).

Excellence. We all want it. We want to be viewed as capable. We want to be recognized for our work. But what does excellence really take? Joseph’s story shows us how to work with God as the source of excellence, in both good times and bad.
