The issue is HOW will I respond in the times of struggle and discouragement. As I see it, Joseph had three choices on how he could respond to his disappointment. They are the same choices you and I face. Retreat . . There is absolutely nothing to be gained from trying to live a godly life.
Integrity is overrated.
People in the world do not like those who try to live a holy life. It makes them look bad. If you stand for Christ, others will take shots at you. But If you retreat from standing with Christ, the world won't bother you because you will be like them. The Bible tells us this that we must keep going.
