"Joseph was an arrogant young man who was hated by his brothers.
In their anger at him, they imprisoned him in a pit and then sold him into a life of slavery and misery in Egypt.
Doubtless Joseph prayed to God to help him escape, but no help was forthcoming, and into slavery he went.
Though he experienced years of bondage and misery, Joseph's character was refined and strengthened by his trials.
Eventually he rose up to become a prime minister of Egypt who saved thousands of lives and even his own family from starvation.
If God had not allowed Joseph's years of suffering, he never would have been such a powerful agent for social justice and spiritual healing."
