Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me. —Psalm 23:4

Rachel-Ruth and I have written what we believe is a compelling and timely new book entitled God Won’t Leave You There: Joseph’s Story. It will be released in March, so after months of writing and editing, we are excited to finally share it with you. Although we collaborated on it, Rachel-Ruth has written the majority of the content in the first person. The following is from the introduction to the first chapter of the book…
“One of my favorite classes in high school was a business management class because the teacher made it so interesting and interactive. At the beginning of the semester, she assigned each of us our own pretend business. Every day at the beginning of class, we’d open the designated filing cabinet and locate our name on a folder that held a large yellow envelope. We were then instructed to open the envelope and remove its contents, which explained what was currently happening in our fake business. Each of us took care of whatever matters arose in our business according to the information in the envelope.
Some days I found that my business had run out of paper or light bulbs, or that maintenance was needed on the copy machine. Then I calculated how much it would cost to address the matter and whether my budget allowed it. Each day the teacher walked us through whatever our pretend business encountered. It was the perfect way to give us a hands-on learning experience.
I will never forget the shock I experienced one particular day. My business had been running well, and I was in the black with my budget. Feeling pretty good about myself and my entrepreneurial skills, I opened my envelope and read this sentence: ‘Fire has burned your business to the ground!’ In total shock I stood and shouted to the class that my business had burned! I was horrified that all my perfect planning and careful plotting had gone up in a burst of fake flames! The class cracked up, as did I after my initial shock. My sweet teacher began the process of teaching me what to do when a crisis like this hits your business. Each day after, she helped my fake business get back on its feet.
If only I could remember all that she taught me! But the overarching lesson that has stuck out to me all these years is: That’s life! We don’t know what will be in our ‘yellow envelope’ each day when we wake in the morning. Some days it might be the normal everyday ho-hum, but there will be days when we get slammed with bad news or circumstances that shake us to the core. As shocking and awful as it may be, God’s Spirit is the gentle Teacher1 who is not caught off guard by our situations. He walks with us step-by-step, has a plan in place to teach us and make us better, and He will never leave us nor forsake us on our journey.2”
No one knows what 2026 will bring. But as it unfolds, you and I may be shocked to find that our “yellow envelope” holds unwanted and unwelcome events. So join us in staying focused on the One who is with us even in the darkest valleys. I can almost hear Joseph’s voice echoing down the millennia encouraging us from his own experience… “God will bring you through!"
For His Glory,

Anne Graham Lotz

Bible Study: Our Relationship with the Shepherd

I. THE RELATIONSHIP IS BENEFICIAL      Psalm 23:1-3

On Joel Rosenberg's Alaska cruise Anne had the privilege of meeting Henri Aoun. He is a Lebanese who for many decades oversaw CRU's ministry from Morocco to Afghanistan. No one knows the Arab world, from an evangelical perspective, better than Henri. He made the time to drop by the office for a visit this past fall and committed to publish some of Anne's books in Arabic, offering them at book fairs all across the Middle East.

Rachel-Ruth’s message at The Cove this fall was on Noah. Matthew 24:37 says, “as in the days of Noah so it will be at the coming of the Son of man". So what did that look like in Noah’s day? Genesis 6-8 gives us a clear picture of what he faced and how he lived for God in a wicked world. We need to be a Noah!

Anne had a rich conversation with Michael Emerson as he led her in reflections on her father. The interview will be released on Newmax in the coming year. Our prayer is that it will honor her earthly father and glorify her heavenly Father.

Could it be that God has an ultimate purpose for our trials and hardships? Could it be that we, like Joseph, are in the process of becoming a reflection of Jesus? God Won't Leave You There is an inspiring and moving guide for anyone navigating life's deepest struggles. Drawing profound lessons from the biblical story of Joseph, Anne and Rachel-Ruth weave together Scripture, personal testimonies of hardship, and the unwavering hope found in God's promises.

If you find yourself on a path of suffering that is made even more painful because you feel you've done nothing wrong and struggle with injustice, look in the shadows. Jesus is right there; He is with you as He grips your hand to lead you forward. No matter how desperate you find yourself in this broken world, you can rest in the God who is trustworthy, knowing He won't leave you there! He will bring you through!
