Our circumstances change but this never does...
Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers. "Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an Egyptian officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the bodyguard, bought him from the Ishmaelites, who had taken him down there." Gen 39:1
I'm sure Joseph felt betrayed and hurt by his brothers. Even betrayed by Potiphar's wife for her false accusation(v2-18). Because of his he goes to prison yet in every circumstance:
"The Lord was with Joseph, so he became a successful man.." Gen 39:2
"...the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the Lord's blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field." Gen 39:5
Even when in prison, "But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer." Gen 39:21
Jospeh's circumstances changed but His relationship with the Lord remained. Joseph honored the Lord in spite of his circumstance. No matter the injustice Joseph sought the Lord and walked according to His ways. How about us? When things get tough do we remain faithful? Do we continue to seek the Lord? As we do no matter the circumstance the Lord will be with us!
