0:00.0	How comforting to know that God's presence is with us in every circumstance in our life.
0:13.0	From being thrown into a pit, sold and treated as a slave, to being elevated to second in command in the Kingdom of Egypt, everything good in Joseph's
0:22.8	life was connected to God's presence. Today, on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us through
0:30.2	a study on the life of Joseph where we will learn how to live in the presence of God. Be sure to
