Faith Attitude of Joseph

Let’s read this passage from the book of Genesis:

20 Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined.
But while Joseph was there in the prison, 21 the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 22 So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. 23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.

--- Genesis 39:20-23

Joseph maintained a good attitude in a bad situation. He had a "faith attitude," and God gave him favor. When God's favor is upon you, people like you for no particular reason, and they want to bless you.

(Joyce Meyer Website).

Even in a bad situation, Joseph has shown an attitude of faith. That’s why He’s blessed by the Lord. If right now we’re in such a bad situation, let’s remember to stay faithful to the Lord. And we’ll know that He’s with us in whatever circumstances that might bring. (-fon-)
