Joseph Was Thrown Into Prison


Joseph Was Thrown into Prison

It’s been sooooo long since I left you hanging. Did you forget about me?  You know, the story of  "Joseph being accused of something he did not do."  He was thrown into prison.  I’m sure he was in shock and crying out to God in his heart as he was grabbed quickly, pushed about, and roughly tossed into an unknown atmosphere.  It was probably darker than normal there.  The truth is Joseph was alone in life, he had no friends.  He didn’t have family members there for him.  He had no one praying for him through his tears and his grief.  He didn’t have anyone but God.  He talked to God through his problems.  His father wasn’t praying for his safety, his father thought he was dead.  I’m sure Joseph thought of his little brother and his dad each night before he went to sleep.  I mean that would be the human thing to do.  There are several things Joseph did while he was in prison. He did his very best work.  I’m sure he learned new things every day.  He met new people each day.  He did not have a bad attitude.  If he struggled in his heart with bitterness, he took it to God in prayer.  Who knows what happened to him while he was in prison?  The bible does not tell us every detail of his stay.  We know one thing though he was there a long, long time.  He was completely forgotten.

He obviously wanted out of prison, because He mentions it to two people.  Joseph was talented in a very unusual way.  Joseph’s talent was rejected by his family when he was young.  However, He was believed by people who he knew in Egypt.  Once again just like David, Joseph was accused, by his family of being, prideful.  Rejection and violence were part of their youth because they were judged harshly.  Did that mean God wasn’t blessing them?  On the contrary, they were the very ones that had a leadership purpose.  God was preparing Joseph for a life of a leader.

God's been speaking to my heart about Joseph and what he might have gone through in prison.
I'm starting some more lessons about Joseph, starting tomorrow and the following weeks.
