But God was with Him

 "And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him." - Acts 7:9

Despite the great tribulations and difficulties that Joseph suffered, he was not discouraged, nor did his faith weaken, and he did not harbor hatred towards those who wronged him. The man unjustly imprisoned rose to become a ruler; the one betrayed by his brothers ultimately provided for them.This was not due to luck, but because God was with him.

The solution to every problem resides in God's presence. Just as with Joseph, this assurance is available to anyone who knows God. Our troubles and challenges may differ, but there is a blessed "but" for all of us: but God is with us.
