Joseph is a great story of God's faithfulness to a man to whom evil people did evil things. Joseph remained faithful to God and things did turn around for him - certainly over a longer period than he would have preferred.
All of the bad things that happened to Joseph actually trained him for what God had planned for him to do.
Are we patient enough to be faithful to God in the cauldron of His training program? Do we have the patience to wait on God? Do we believe God is using our trials for good.
It is important to see that the evil that Joseph endured was not engineered by God, but be men. God redeemed the evil of men and meant it for good. Joseph will later state this in one of the most profound statements in the Bible.
Notice how the plan of God can not be derailed by evil.
