Genesis 39:21 says “But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” The story of Joseph in the Bible is an amazing story of a man of patience, integrity and character.
Joseph’s life was filled with what seemed to be setbacks on the surface, but in fact were the very situations that matured him, tested him, and ultimately set him up for God’s plan to be manifested through him. Hallelujah!
In one of these major set-backs, we saw the true and noble character that was the core of who Joseph was. After being wrongfully charged for an offense he did not commit, Joseph found himself in prison.
But in just one day...after a series of events, Joseph was released from prison and put into a place of high authority and it brought glory to God instead of him-self.
Looking at Joseph more closely and analyzing his actions (and lack of action in certain circumstances) we can see a shining example of one of God’s loyal servants whom God saw worthy of being promoted to the high calling he had.
When we have times in our lives where we are being treated unfairly or things seem to be continually against us, we can look to Joseph as a great example of how to keep our eyes on God and continue to live in integrity and have confidence that God will come through for us and give each and everyone of us a Glorious Turnaround, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
You will have good success this 2018.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
