I am currently studying the Penituech (sp) and I just recently ran into Joseph and I beleive he has some things to teach us. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, tempted by the wife of Potepher then imprissoned. He was doing exactly what God wanted, but he was punished for it. I personally think the story can show us 2 things.
1. that your finicial situation mattes NOTHING in terms of your faith and righeousness.
2. that when you sin it is ultimatly against God as Joseph stated himself in Gen 39:9
3 It is the will of God that you go through trials and that you might be poor by the will of God as Joseph himself tells us in Genesis 45:8
