The Psalmist tells the story of the sufferings of Joseph who was ordained of God to be a deliverer of his people. Such a contradiction. It must have been difficult for him to endure the tricks of the enemy to discredit him and dissuade him from serving God. Nevertheless, he persisted in applying his energies to doing what was right to maintain his integrity.

His day of promotion and vindication finally came. Everyone then knew of the favor and grace God had gifted him with as they witnessed how he spared the nation of Egypt from the devastation the drought would have inflicted. Thank God he didn’t succumb to the enemy’s devices. ONLY through the help the Lord gave him did he endure and succeed.
