In het begin – Genesis 44:1

God often surprises us when our plans fall apart, reminding us that His ways are higher than ours. Like Joseph’s brothers in Genesis 43:23, what seems fearful or confusing can be God’s hidden provision. This 7-day devotional, “When God Surprises Us!”, invites you to see beyond challenges and recognize His unseen blessings. Through reflection, you’ll discover how God works in unexpected ways—bringing peace, provision, and purpose. As your spiritual awareness grows, you’ll begin to see that His “surprises” hold greater treasures than anything you could have planned or imagined.

Welcome to The Furnace of Leadership... a journey through the life of Joseph, whose path to purpose was paved with rejection, betrayal, delays, and detours. He didn’t rise through ease but through pits and prisons... and God was in every moment. If you’ve ever wondered why leadership costs so much, Joseph’s story is for you. Through his life, we’ll see how God shapes leaders not in spite of pain but through it. In the heat of hardship, He forges strength, character, and deep trust. And in His hands, not even your ache is wasted. Let’s walk this refining journey together.
