“Joseph of old, sold into slavery as a youth by his own
brothers, in his anguish turned to God. Gradually, he rose to prominence in his
master’s house in Egypt but then had all this progress ripped away because of
the false accusations of Potiphar’s wife. Joseph could have thought, ‘So prison
is what I get for keeping the law of chastity.’ Instead, he continued to turn
to God and was prospered even in prison. Joseph suffered a further crushing
disappointment when the prisoner he befriended, despite his promise to help
Joseph, forgot all about him after being restored to his position in Pharaoh’s
court. In due course, as you know, the Lord intervened to put Joseph in the
highest position of trust and power next to Pharaoh, enabling Joseph to save
the house of Israel. Surely Joseph could attest that all things work together
for good to them that love God.” – Elder D. Todd Christofferson
