🌾 Daily Devotional – God Is Working Even When Life Is Messy

Theme: Trusting God’s Purpose Through Imperfect Circumstances

Scripture:“But God sent me before you to preserve life.”— Genesis 45:5 (KJV)

Reflection:Life is rarely neat or predictable. Family conflict, poor decisions, betrayal, and long seasons of waiting can leave us wondering where God is in the middle of it all. The story unfolding in Genesis reminds us of a powerful truth: God is always working—even when life feels messy.

Joseph’s journey was filled with injustice, rejection, and hardship. What others meant for harm, God was quietly shaping into purpose. At the right time, Joseph could see clearly what had once caused deep pain—God had been working all along.

This devotional reminds us that God’s plan is not derailed by human failure or difficult circumstances. He redeems. He restores. He uses what is broken to bring life, growth, and testimony.

You may not yet see how everything fits together—but God does.You may feel confused by the path—but God is guiding it.You may feel hurt by the past—but God is healing and using it for good.

As we continue through 2026, let us trust that God is not only present in the blessings, but also in the struggles. Nothing is wasted in His hands.

Meditation:Ask yourself quietly:Where do I need to trust that God is working, even if I don’t understand it yet?Offer that place to Him today.

Prayer:Father, thank You for working through every part of my life—the joyful moments and the painful ones. Help me trust Your purpose when things feel confusing or messy. Give me patience, faith, and peace as You continue Your work in me. I believe You are good, and I trust Your plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 💜
