Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. Genesis 41:51-52 January 29, 2025
In the Bible, "sustain" means to uphold, support, or maintain. It is often used to describe God's care for his creation, people, and covenant promises. God sustained Joseph through the trials he went through because He had a purpose in Joseph’s life for him to become the second in command under Pharaoh. He was able to save his people from starvation. What his brothers (and others) meant for evil, God meant for good!
