Scripture repeatedly states that the Lord was with Joseph, leading to his prosperity in all he did.
Throughout Genesis 39, we see the repeated affirmation that 'the Lord was with Joseph.' This divine presence is the source of Joseph’s success and prosperity in Potiphar's house and even in the prison. Despite Joseph's dire circumstances, his ability to rise above them stems from God's unwavering guidance and support. Potiphar himself recognized that God was with Joseph, indicating that even those outside the covenant community could see the evident blessing of God upon him. This underscores the importance of God's presence in the lives of believers, illustrating that, regardless of earthly trials, the assurance of God's companionship leads to ultimate success according to His will.
