Joseph stands in stark contrast to Jacob! As you read through his life notice the number of times he stands his ground regardless of the things that come along. He seems touched by God from an early age. Through the account it is often said that his success was a result of his God. Regarding the interpreting of dreams he said, "I cannot . . .but God can" giving God the honor.
The big lesson from Joseph's life is found near the end of Genesis when he looks past what was done to him by others to the hand of God over their actions.{Genesis 45 & 50} What a lesson in forgiveness! Consider the hardest mean thing ever done to you. Have you come to the place that you can look beyond the hurt to the hand of God Who works everything together for your good? {Romans 8:28} Even if someone means it for evil God will turn it for your good. Only the Almighty God can do this.
