Forgotten . . . not Forsaken

Text: Genesis 40:23
Intro: Our text shows Joseph in the midst of a great trial of faith. He has been mistreated, misrepresented, falsely accused and imprisoned. In the midst of it all Joseph remained patient and kept his testimony intact. He did not see himself as a victim, but as a victor waiting for his liberty! Through it all, he refused to be a victim. (Gen. 39:23) I want us to see Joseph in his prison. His experiences there have some much needed lessons for the people of the Lord. (Jn 16:33) (Heb. 13:5)
