The Bible tells the story of Joseph. Joseph’s brothers were jealous of Joseph. His father clearly favored Joseph above the other. So, they sold Joseph as a slave to a group going to Egypt, and told his father he had been killed by a wild animal.
In Egypt, he was sold to an Egyptian official. He worked hard, it was said that God was with him, and he rose to stand in authority over the official’s house.
But because of a false testimony, he was sent to prison. In prison, he worked hard, it was said that God was with him, and he rose to stand in authority over the prison.
Finally, he helped an official in prison, and the official recommended Joseph for an important job to the King. And the King not only used him for that job, but gave him a bigger job. He worked hard, it was said that God was with him, and he rose to stand in authority over all Egypt.
It did not matter where Joseph was. He was positive. He was faithful and trustworthy. He was diligent. God’s grace flowed through Joseph and had transforming, blessing effects.
Which is more important, a person’s position or the attitude, energy and character a person displays in that position?
