The godly approach to life: rest in God's sovereignty, and trust in God's wisdom.
Exegesis: God's means of attaining His ends: He allows His church to be maligned (vv. 13-18) and to suffer (vv. 19-20), and raises His church to prominence (vv. 21-23).
Further application: What we learn from this text: that life is not ''fair,'' that God is greater than our trials, and that we are to believe in Christ (even when it is hard).
Key verse: v. 21 ''But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.''
