Genesis 39:1-23; Matthew 5:11-12

The Lord was with Joseph, who was a slave in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that Joseph did to prosper.

Later, when Joseph had been thrown into prison, the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love. The Lord was with him, and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.
