In the life and story of Joseph, we see the value of a character. A character centered in faith and trust in God. Devoted to serving God and man with honor and dependability. Unwilling to be deterred by the hatred, betrayal, and forgetfulness of others. Willing to forgive the wrongs committed by others. Able to see the big picture, God’s wonderful workings in the affairs of men.

This noble character can be useful in all the seasons life.  As a youth, tempted and tried with no help from family or friend. As a mature individual, charged with important responsibilities. As an aged person, knowing that death is imminent.

May “the Character of Joseph” serve to inspire us to develop our character as well, that in some small way we too can be, “… an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)
