“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,
the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes
of the prison warden.” Genesis 39:20-21
This is quite encouraging – while
Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him.
While you are there in trouble, the Lord is with you. While you are
there in need, the Lord is with you. While you are there in pain, the Lord is
with you. While you are there in anxiety, the Lord is with you. While you are
there in isolation, the Lord is with you. That’s the point. And remember, you
may be punished for wrongs that you never committed.
Some Christians think the Lord is with them only when they are happy,
healthy, well-fed, rich, etc. It’s quite unfortunate. If you’ve surrendered
your life to God and worship only Him, then He is with you always, until the
end of the world, and no matter how feel.
Joseph was in prison, but even when he was there, the Lord was with him.
While Joseph was in prison the Lord was not just there with him, but he
actually manifested. According to the opening Bible verse, the Lord showed
Joseph kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
When you go through valleys and thickets, even when you go through a
fire, or when you face back-breaking challenges, remember, the Lord is there
with you. In that dark situation, the Lord manifests, and attracts helpers for
you, to lighten your burden.
Look to the Lord always, and in your moment of need, He will surely show
you kindness and cause favor to flow in your direction.
