Welcome to Part 2 with Brother Brad Wilcox, Genesis 37 to 41.

I think about breaking of the law of chastity, but then what happened afterwards.

This is another reason to admire Joseph.

Okay, so good for Joseph.

He fled.

He got him out, is what it says.

And because he was so awesome at keeping a lot of chastity, he is immediately rewarded.

No, he's thrown into prison unjustly.

Knowing your identity helps you there as well.

First time I ever heard the example of a vending machine,

if I do this, I get this, was from you, Brad.

This idea, I'm obedient, I get a blessing, you know,

push the button, out comes blessing.

Imagine how irritated we would be if we put our money in a vending machine

and nothing happens.

People punch vending machines and grab them

and do this when they don't give you what you want. Here's what President Benson said.

One of the trials of this life is that we do not usually receive immediately the full blessing

for righteousness or the full cursing

for wickedness. That it will come, it is certain. But oftentimes there is a waiting period that

occurs, as was the case with Job and with Joseph. He said, he's doing the right thing knowing that

eventually he'll be blessed. but it wasn't right away.
