HAPPINESS               

"So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined;

and he was there in the jail.

But the Lord was with Joseph 

and extended kindness to him

and gave him favor

in the sight of the chief jailer."

Genesis 39:20,21

Joseph was in prison because Potiphar's wife told her husband that Joseph had made sexual advances toward her,

which was totally untrue.

In fact, it was Potiphar's wife who had made advances toward Joseph. 

So even though God did not cause the real truth to surface at that time,

Joseph was content because he knew God was with him there in the prison,

no matter what had happened or what would happen. 

Joseph's happiness in God was much greater than his non-believing employer and his wife

would ever be.

Joseph's later confinement, which you can read about in God's Word, was nothing compared to the wretched confinement of that family's sin.  

 Father,

help us see beyond our circumstances and find happiness in realizing your Word and you presence is far better that whatever trouble comes our way.

AMEN. 

If these truths bless you, I would love to hear from you.
