Joseph, now a slave in Egypt, finds success because God is with him. Potiphar elevates him to chief of staff and gives him dominion over his land and possessions. Right as things seem to be taking a positive turn for Joseph, Potiphar’s wife tries to seduce him, and Joseph refuses to betray his boss or his God. Consequently, he is falsely accused and imprisoned. And yet, even in the dungeon of life, God’s presence is with Joseph, and favor follows him. This chapter in Joseph’s story has much to teach us about vocation, temptation, and frustration. Through it all, if we have God’s presence, our souls can feast in the penthouse or dungeons of life.
