His brothers sold him as a slave, his masters wife tried to lie with him, the butler he helped in jail forgot him ...
But through it all Joseph never forgot God and the teaching he learned from his father about God's wonderful
dealings with him. Jacob recounted the ladder he saw, how God lead him and his family ... imagine those wonderful
lessons from a father. That cemented the faith of his son as an exile and long after in Egypt. Did God cause the
trouble that befell him? Did God set the agencies in place to entrap and ensnare Joseph? Certainly not and
certainly He never will with any of us. his mission like that of His eternal Son is always and only to redeem.
