As I’ve studied this story, this is what I see that stands out: How his relationship with his father formed him, and his how his dreams gave him purpose. Joseph had an IDENTITY and a PURPOSE that stood the test. It’s one thing to THINK you know who you are when things are good, because it’s theoretical. But when a trial hits, the truth is revealed. Difficulty and testing reveal where our identity is rooted, but it also shows us what we’re LIVING FOR. Joseph carried a DREAM that God used to deposit PURPOSE in his heart, and it oriented him through all the storms he would encounter.
