God's presenceGod's faithfulnessWork

21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22 And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
