Genesis 39:20

Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined.

From Background Notes [BN] for Sept 20th & 21st written by Pastor Bob Brown:

And God was, apparently, not limited in the places where he could carry out that plan. Neither the pit of his brothers nor the servitude of the Ishmaelites could interfere with the purposes of God on his life.

Such is the drama of God's gifted child. And now, confronted with the very temptations that brought down his brother Judah in the land of Canaan, he stands his ground: "he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her" (39:10). How could he be "with her" when clearly "God was with him"? [BN,4]
