Genesis 39:1-5 And
Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain
of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which
had brought him down thither. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a
prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his
master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did
to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him:
and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his
hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his
house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for
Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the
house, and in the field. The Ishmaelites sold Joseph to Potiphar, who was
an important man in Pharaoh’s government. Joseph was a lowly slave, but God was
with him because he was an honest man. Joseph was promoted over and over again and
given more and more responsibilities. Soon, Potiphar didn’t even think about what
was going on in his house because he knew that Joseph would take care of
everything. He trusted Joseph completely. Potiphar didn’t believe in God, but
he knew that Joseph was trustworthy. And God blessed everything that Joseph
did. Are you like Joseph? Are others glad to have you around? Are others
blessed because God is with you? I hope so.
