In the continuing ups and downs of the story of Joseph, he now finds himself in prison.  This was probably an extremely low point for him.  Yet Joseph experienced God’s presence in prison and shined once again.  Let’s look at the brief account together today.

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.

Have you ever thought about the fact that wherever you are at in life God has a reason for you top be there.  Maybe you are not in the particular place or circumstance that you want to be right now.  God has work for you whatever your situation.  Joseph understood this well and even in the worst of circumstances he excelled.  Whether as a slave, a prisoner, or eventually the leader of all of Egypt Joseph consistently rises to the top and accomplishes the work God has for him.  God wants the same for all of us.  Whether we are in good circumstances or in a down time like Joseph often faced we are called to bloom where we are planted.  God has a person for you to reach or a goal for you to accomplish or a ministry for you to launch right where you are.  Pray and seek how He might use you right where you are in life today!

In His Grip,
