God Brings New Beginnings

Ever go through something so hard you wonder if you’ll ever get past it? Joseph knew that feeling. Years after getting betrayed by his brothers, sold as a slave, and thrown into prison, Joseph found himself living a new life in Egypt. When his first son was born, Joseph named him Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and my father’s house.” His second son, Ephraim, meant, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering”.

Sometimes God doesn’t erase the past—He brings new blessings that outshine the pain. For Joseph, the memories didn’t vanish, but now joy and hope took center stage. Manasseh and Ephraim were Joseph’s daily reminders: God can turn even our hardest seasons into something good. If life feels heavy or unfair right now, hang on—God is at work behind the scenes, bringing new life right where you least expect it!

Today, thank God for the Manasseh and Ephraim moments—those gifts that help your heart heal and remind you that even from struggle, God can bring a new beginning. #GodBringsNewBeginnings #newhopetunnelhill #Dalton
