Genesis 39:2, 21, 23,<\/b> YHVH was with Joseph. <\/i><\/b>This phrase is repeated three times in this chapter to emphasize an important spiritual principle. Even in the midst of Joseph\u2019s unfair persecution first as a slave then as a prisoner, his faithfulness to YHVH insured YHVH\u2019s divine protection and favor in these adverse circumstances. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but YHVH delivers him out of them all (Ps 34:19), and YHVH promises to accompany his people through the floods and fires of adversities (Isa 43:2). Joseph\u2019s prevailing through adverse and unjust circumstances with YHVH\u2019s help should be a great source of encouragement for every believer.<\/p>\n

\"Joseph<\/a><\/p>\n

Joseph\u2026a successful man. <\/i><\/b>Even as a slave, YHVH blessed and prospered Joseph. YHVH can prosper us in any work situation in which we find ourselves \u2014 even if we\u2019re not much better than a slave. If we but will apply ourselves to work hard and diligently, while staying faithful to YHVH as Joseph did, YHVH will prosper and promote us. Laziness, greed, theft, covetousness and irresponsibility has never gotten anyone anywhere in any employment situation.<\/p>\n
