Genesis 39:2-4 - The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
I wonder how Potiphar could tell that the LORD was with Joseph. What was it in the way Joseph did his duties and conducted himself that made it evident? Were other servants given similar tasks but didn't produce the same good results? What kinds of tasks did Joseph have to perform?
I wonder if Joseph openly spoke about God to his co-workers or to Potiphar. It says that Potiphar saw that the LORD was with Joseph. Unless that only means he could observe the results of Joseph's work, how else could he have known it was the LORD working through Joseph unless Joseph had told him so?
