The LORD was with him and caused everything he did to succeed. – Genesis 39:23(NLT)
WHEN GOD IS WITH YOU
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you form a relationship with the Lord
He will never leave you; he’ll be there for you
As soon as you commit to Jesus Christ
You will encounter many challenges in life.
When God is with you, you have his blessings
Stay faithful to him and you will overcome evil
When God is with you, he can give you favors
Keep growing your faith and your life will be full.

The story of Joseph the dreamer in the bible is a clear example of how God is with the people whom he loved and have plans for. His brothers plotted to kill him and sold him later to slavery because they were jealous of how their father Jacob treated him. He was his favorite son. The Lord allowed all the bad things that Joseph experienced to be a way for him to succeed in life. After being sold to the Egyptians, years later, he ended up working for the Pharaoh. Because God was with him all the time, everything he did was blessed and anointed. Potiphar, the Pharaoh found Joseph so good at everything he did and so he promoted him and trusted him with everything he got. Later on, he helped his relatives during the worst famine in the land despite what they did to him.
