Genesis 39-40
There are moments in life when we have done what is right, but disaster still strikes. Joseph could have given into Potiphar's wife. He could have justified it for many reasons. Instead, he stood for what he believed was right. The consequence of his action was prison. Being thrown in prison wasn't fair. He deserved better. Ultimately life takes a good turn for him, but he does not know that when he is prison.
There are times in our lives when we might do what is right and still suffer. The hope that we have is that God is always with us. As God was working for Joseph, our hope is that God is working for us. Faith calls us to have this hope no matter the situation we face.

It seems that this is back to the meaning in yesterday's scripture passage - that in ALL things, God can bring about good. What reassurance that promise is to us, especially when we feel that we are doing good but bad things still happen. I praise God for His promises!
