The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. The foundational statement of the Joseph story is this: the LORD was with Joseph. Not that Joseph was exceptional, or that he worked hard, or that he was in the right place — the LORD was with him. The application: the presence of the LORD is the explanation for the prosperity that follows every condition Joseph is placed in. The slave prospers; the prisoner prospers; the governor prospers — the LORD is with him in each.
