Jehovah Delivers Joseph

Joseph suffered as a slave and a prisoner for about 13 years before Jehovah delivered him. Rather than becoming bitter, Joseph let this experience refine him. (Ps 105:17-19) He knew that Jehovah never abandoned him. How did Joseph make the best of his situation?
  • Joseph passing out food to other prisoners.
    He showed industriousness and trustworthiness, giving Jehovah a basis to bless him.​—Ge 39:21, 22
  • Joseph interpreting the dreams of two prisoners.
    He took an interest in others instead of plotting revenge against those who mistreated him.​—Ge 40:5-7
How does Joseph’s experience help me endure my problems?
Until Jehovah delivers me at Armageddon, how can I make the best of my situation?

Bad associations spoil useful habits.​—1 Cor. 15:33.
Although we endeavor to have good relations with family members and treat them kindly, we must be careful not to compromise the truth to please them. While we will continue to try to get along well with family members, we will have close friendships only with those who love Jehovah. All who walk in the truth must be holy. (Isa. 35:8; 1 Pet. 1:14-16) When coming into the truth, all of us had to make adjustments to conform to the Bible’s righteous standards. Some had to undergo major changes. Whichever the case, we must never trade our pure, holy condition for the immoral filth of this world. How can we avoid succumbing to immoral conduct? Reflect on the high price that Jehovah paid in order for us to be holy​—the precious blood of his Son, Jesus Christ. (1 Pet. 1:18, 19) To maintain our clean standing before Jehovah, we need to keep the value of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice foremost in our mind and heart. w18.11 11 ¶10-11
