The Lord had relationship with Adam. But, Abel and Cain had to decide for themselves. Joseph had visions that he could not explain and also his father's approval; maybe because he was the newest potential soccer forward in the family. He excited his old father's hopes for the family's extended future. David had a servant's heart but lacked his father's approval. David and Joseph both experienced family rejection. They were also given opportunities to serve by the Lord.
The simple summary is of the acceptance or rejection of men is God's fulcrum or loving estate. Read Psalms 27.10. The Lord wants servant-children; not grand children and the space to create and call His servant in spite of man's rejection or approval. Joseph chose to serve the Lord and ran from Potiphar's wife who was Jezebel's great great grandmother quite potentially. Each soul as created must choose for himself. Christ chose as did Satan. Satan could have chosen the hope of forgiveness and to stay in that frame of mind. But, instead, he chose rebellion. Cain did the same in an abundance of impatience. David chose the hope of forgiveness and repentance and trusting in the Lord's power to restore relationship.
