We could see Joseph rebel. We could see him bemoan his predicament. Instead, he does what he can and thrives. Does he have his dreams in the back of his head, encouraging him? Is his faith in God that strong? Note his words: “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” Here’s what we do know: even when tempted to do evil, he doesn’t, and he initially suffers for it. But God continues to be with him, and he continues to do what is right!
Isaiah 41:10 (WEB) “Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness”
Thought for the day: Are you willing to do what is right even if you suffer for it?
1 Peter 3:14 (WEB) “But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed.”
Amen!
