Katulad ni Joseph, noong siya ay nakulong sa (Genesis 39:20-23), madalas natin makita ang sarili sa mga challenging situations. Ang mga challenges na ito may maaaring maka-discourage kung hindi natin makikita ang purpose sa mga trials na ito. Ang pag-unawa sa purpose ng Diyos sa loob ng challenges ay makakatulong sa atin sa pag-maintain ng mabuting attitude, at ang magla-lapit sa atin sa Diyos.
(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.
