In This Way: Flexibility

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt.  Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.  ~ Genesis 39:1

Observations:
Things went wrongly for Joseph
Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery
Joseph's father was broken hearted for 20 years
Potiphar bought Joseph, making him chattel
Potiphar's wife lied, making him a prisoner
Cupbearer forgot about him
Baker was decapitated
Prison record
Did Joseph beat back flashbacks when he saw the cupbearer again?
No exchange mentioned between Joseph and cupbearer

Applications:
Remember Joseph as a believer, husband, father, professional and citizen
I don't stop things from going wrongly
I endure regrets / flashbacks / misfortune while doing what I need to do
Chaplaincy nightmares and childhood regrets can't stop pursuit of our marital / parental / entrepreneurial dreams
Shave, change my clothes and serve before kings (Prov 22:29)

Prayer:
Things went wrongly for Joseph and go wrongly for us.  In the midst of difficulty, You remain present.  Thank You for showing Yourself in Joseph's sad and violent story.  We're trusting You to do the same thing today.
