Have you ever been accused of something when you were not guilty? The situation is difficult because most guilty people yell, “I’m innocent,” when caught. The guilty sound the same as the innocent people. Any “he said/she said” situation seems hopeless to discover the truth. Joseph found himself in a difficult spot. He could only rely on God to vindicate him. That was not to come for several years. No amount of talk or denial would help him speed things up. Actually, the penalty for adultery, for which Joseph was falsely accused, was death. This would certainly be true for a slave. So he was treated mercifully, however unfairly, by his master.
Life is not fair. How do you handle the inevitable injustices that come your way? Waiting for vindication is difficult, especially when it may not happen in this life. Use the life of Joseph as an example in patience.
Father, help me to be patient and trust Your timing.
