" Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. " -Genesis 37:24
Joseph had his earthly father's favor, and his heavenly Father's favor. Jacob had given him a coat of many colors identifying his favor above his brothers and God had given him dreams confirming His favor over them as well. But Joseph's brothers refused to recognize this and threw him in a hole instead. This might of come as a surprise to Joseph but not to God, for before He made Joseph great He brought him low. Jesus said that “the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” (Mat 20:16) Joseph's moment in a hole would not interfere with God's plans for Joseph, but it was God's plan for Joseph. You see Joseph came into the hole as a leader but he would come out as a servant leader.
You might find yourself in a hole, empty and alone but God still has plans to bless and prosper you. Maybe God has you in hole right now so you can lay ahold of something. Maybe God wants to humble you and make you usable for greater things to come. (Acts 7:9-10)
