The LORD was with Joseph...(greatest Comfort in the greatest discomfort)
And his master saw that the LORD was with him...(people should be able to see the difference in us)
But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison...(even in the prison, Joseph can and must lead)
the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper. (Without God, we can do nothing)
Blessed is Joseph though he was to be harmed, framed and forgotten. Hard process of moulding. Can imagine him crying out to God!
Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.”
And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” (Genesis 39-41)
A beautiful story of trusting in the Lord in dark moments. Even and especially in affliction can we bear fruit because we are pushed out of our comfort zone.
