SF - Yoseph -- A Lesson in Trust

Yoseph -- A Lesson in Trust Yoseph had two prophetic dreams which revealed that he would become a king. After his initial joy of the prospect of becoming a king, Yoseph experienced great difficulties. Yoseph felt that all the sore troubles that befell him indicated that he was unworthy of the prophecy to be fulfilled. In light of that situation, he asked  the royal cupbearer to intervene on his behalf. He received an additional two years in jail for his lack of trust in HaShem. Yet, why was he penalized for his humility in deeming himself unworthy of Divine intervention? Surely humility is the greatest virtue that man can attain? Even if Yoseph's spiritual status had declined, it was still obligatory for him to trust in HaShem's infinite compassion to forgive him and rescue him from his plight. Lesson: HaShem's infinite compassion is far greater than any sin. Therefore, if one considers himself unworthy of redemption, he is accountable because he lacks faith in HaShem's endless mercy and forgiveness. App: Never despair of HaShem's redemption, regardless of your past misdeeds. Place your heartfelt trust in HaShem's mercy and He will surely save you from your troubles.
