V.1-6 Joseph submissively adjusts to the life of a slave. We do not read of one complaint (Luke 2:49-52).
V.2 What an interruption and a secret to understand. The Lord was with him in his prosperity. We will see another remarkable statement later in this chapter.
V.7-20 Tempted, not just one day, but many (Heb. 4:15). Good circumstances are the cause of Satan’s subtle attacks on us sometimes.
V.9 All sin is against God. He didn’t say “we” but “I”. He was in a very much more responsible position than she was. She did not know the Lord.
V.21-23 What a sweet follow-up to the beginning of verse 2. Here in adversity, in prison now, there is this blessed assurance, “but the Lord was with Joseph” — in prosperity, and in prison.
V.23 The Lord was behind all the events. We too can rest on the promise in Philippians 1:6.
