I've always felt that someone in his situation would have had every excuse to rebel against everything he had been taught -- but this was a young lad who remained true to his God in circumstances where he was on his own, without any fellowship at all, sticking to his faith and refusing to throw it all in. And what was the result? Prison! But ironically prison proved to be the means by which God brought him to the attention of Pharaoh and his saving of the people of Egypt, with God's help, led to the saving of his own people.<br><b>References : </b><br> Just look at the story of Joseph in Genesis.
