Joseph of Egypt

Joseph of Egypt, should be a "hot" boy, tan by the sun of Egypt and attractive. Despite being a slave he was now an administrator. This gave him some privileges,  but even then the wife of the boss was off limits.
And right there, regarding to the boss's wife, there was a test for him, that would show his faithfulness to God, which whom he believed, and his boss, who trusted Joseph.
For some people, having an affair is something normal, but not when you have a serious relationship with God.
Gn 39:7-9 " and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”But he refused. “With me in charge,” he told her, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”"
With that, Joseph gave one more step to the top, this same choice would mark his life as the future administrator of Egypt.
Once Again Joseph is hated and now by the wife of Potiphar, q says slanders about him and because of this it will stop in prison.  Joseph preferred to endure the consequences and stay firm in your clean conscience with God.
 Joseph walked with God, had such harsh trials! Was it worth it? In his trials Joseph built a solid base for a long life. The proof is that he lived 110 years ago, was governor during 80 years and left an incredible  legacy .
