We know that God is good.

We sing it. We confess it. Yet ordinary life often clouds our vision. We despair in hardship. We grow complacent in comfort. We forget to see the guiding hand of our Father.

In Seeing the Goodness of God, Paul J. Twiss invites readers into Genesis 37–50, the story of Jacob and his sons. Through betrayal and reconciliation, famine and abundance, prison and palace, Scripture reveals a steady Sovereign at work. Joseph’s declaration that “God meant it for good” becomes a lens through which we can learn to interpret our own story.

Naïve optimism or shallow answers can’t carry us through life. Here is an invitation to cultivate the eyes of faith: to resist complacency, to endure suffering, and to trust that the Almighty is at work even when His purposes are hidden.
