Dear Father,

Joseph was a humble and honest man with a great future ahead of him, yet he was thrown in prison despite his innocence. The Scripture says, “Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined.”

This would have been a deeply discouraging experience in his walk with You, yet he remained faithful, and even in prison, he was entrusted with leadership. Though a prisoner, he displayed the character of a king. This illustration reveals that: the crown may be hidden and the palace unseen, yet a king is known by the way he lives.

However, I pondered on this: the prison holds not only criminals, but great men--though only for a season. The danger arises when we no longer know how to separate character from circumstance. We begin to treat all men in prison as prisoners. Yet, there are Josephs in prisons.

On their part, they are being refined, and destiny will take its course. But what happens to us? We risk losing the opportunity to partake in greatness through honor and relationship. Father, this is a problem that haunts mankind; especially the attitude of selective honor. Yet, one of the clearest ways to know a man is by how he treats others in their lowest state. Joseph found his way out of prison because he did not withhold honor from others who were also in low estate.
