41:9-13, 16, 29-32, 38-40

Joseph suffered as a slave and a prisoner for about 13 years before Jehovah delivered him. Rather than becoming bitter, Joseph let this experience refine him. (Ps 105:17-19) He knew that Jehovah never abandoned him. How did Joseph make the best of his situation?

• He showed industriousness and trustworthiness, giving Jehovah a basis to bless him.​—Ge 39:21, 22

• He took an interest in others instead of plotting revenge against those who mistreated him.​—Ge 40:5-7

How does Joseph’s experience help me endure my problems?

Until Jehovah delivers me at Armageddon, how can I make the best of my situation?
