How do we know God is with us?

To discern God's presence, one must first possess a genuine faith that leads to a life reflecting His teachings. As it is stated, 'Fear the Lord and walk in His ways' (Psalm 128:1), which forms the foundation of a believer's life. Second, experiencing trials is not a sign of God's absence; rather, it is through these difficulties that God’s presence is often made manifest. Furthermore, others will notice God's providence in our lives when we exhibit resilience and grace during tribulations—this can be a powerful testimony to the truth of God's working in our lives. Joseph's life serves as a case study where God's presence was noted not just through personal comfort, but through visible outcomes in his service, whether as a slave or in prison.
