God is not in a rush to do his work. It took eleven years before Joseph was elevated to the right hand of the Pharaoh. Think about that. Eleven years. Without knowing the full story of Joseph’s life from beginning to end, it would be natural to question the wisdom of God’s timing in this situation. But God had work to do, work that took time. God had to press Joseph, mold him, and shape him for eleven years before he was ready to stand before Pharaoh.
