The musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber is based off of Joseph's story from the book of Genesis. As the 11th of 12 sons of Jacob (but the favorite because he was Rachel's firstborn), Joseph was the victim of much of his older brothers' jealous abuse. Rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery, wrongly accused and sentenced to jail are some horrific trials, yet they did not kill Joseph's faith. With perseverance and endurance, he arose to great power and eventually was able to save his family from starvation.
We can be like Joseph and continue on with faith in our trials. However, it would probably be a little more fun if our trials came with song and choreography like the musical did. :)
