Genesis 39: The Imprisonment of Joseph
Joseph was a good administrator and God was always with him, no matter the circumstances. In the Egyptian Potiphar’s house, he became the second in command and chief of the servants. But Potiphar had an unfaithful wife, perhaps because Potiphar had to become a eunuch to be promoted to his position. She tried to involve Joseph in a sexual liaison but he was faithful to his master and to God. She then entrapped him and Potiphar had no choice but to send him to prison. But even in prison, God blessed him and he became the jailer's assistant.
Once one pledges faithfulness to God, life does not become a bed of roses. It can even become a bed of thorns. In fact it would seem fantastical that every time a person committed themselves to God, problems would just disappear. There would be no atheists in the world. God calls His followers to endure trials for His good reasons. I wish I knew when he was trialing me and for what motive. But, whether to promote His agenda or to suffer my just punishment, I know that He works all things together for my good (Romans 8:28).
