"Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am about to die, but God will certainly come to your aid and bring you up from this land to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.'"
Genesis 50:24
The book of Genesis ends with the death of both Jacob and Joseph. All of Israel is now living in Egypt, where they will be oppressed and enslaved for years to come. Before his death, though, Joseph ensures his brethren that the God of their fathers will rescue them and take them to the Promised Land. It's hard, though, to believe in God's promises sometimes, when they seem so far away.
Question: What has God promised you that you find difficult to believe?
