there is a way for us to respond.. we must learn to walk through darkness
to walk through darkness is to walk through victoriously
Joseph sees his brothers didn't do their work properly and reported to his father
Joseph was given a special robe
Joseph had a dream that his brothers will bow down to him
sun and moon representing his parents, stars representing his brothers
Joseph was so good looking TT the master wife lust over him
Joseph didn't accept her lust, and was accused of rape
Joseph was thrown in prison, but he was still diligent, excellent and integrity

Joseph interpreted the dreams of cup bearer accurately
phro had a dream and was so disturbed and Joseph was able to interpret correctly.. realeased and prmoterd as 2nd in command
