You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell. And today we're looking at Genesis chapter 39. Let's roll. Now. Joseph had been taken to Egypt, an Egyptian named Potiphar and Officer of Pharaoh, and the captain of the guards brought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him there. The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man serving in the household of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made everything he did successful, Joseph found favor with his master and became his personal attendant. Potiphar also put him in charge of his household and placed all that he owned under his authority From the time that he put him in charge of his household and all that he owned, the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house because of Joseph. The Lord's Blessing was on all that he owned in his house and in his fields. He left all that he owned under Joseph's authority. He did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well built and handsome after some time. His master's wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, sleep with me, but he refused. Look with me here. My master does not concern himself with anything in his house and he has put everything he owns under my authority. No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you were his wife. So how could I do this immense evil and how could I sin against God? Although she spoke to Joseph Day after day, he refused to go to bed with her. Now, one day he went to the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there. She grabbed him by his garment and said, sleep with me. But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside. when she saw that he had left his garment with her and ran outside, she called her household servants. Look. She said to them, my husband brought a Hebrew man to make fools of us. He came to me so he could sleep with me, and I screamed as loud as I could when he heard me screaming for help, he left his garment beside me and ran outside. She put Joseph's garment beside her until the master came home. Then she told him the same story. the Hebrew slave you brought to us, came to make a fool of me. But when I screamed for help, he left this garment beside me and ran outside. When his master heard the story, his wife told him, These are the things your slave did to me. He was furious and had him thrown into prison where the king's prisoners were confined. So Joseph was there in prison, but the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him. he granted him favor with the prison warden. The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph's authority, and he was responsible for everything that was done there. The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph's authority because the Lord was with him. The Lord made everything that he did successful. Let's pray. Lord God, just like Joseph, we often face tests of integrity, and especially those are difficult tests when nobody is around. So, Lord, I pray that you would help us to choose faithfulness over compromise, trusting that you are with us, even in the dark and hidden spaces. Joseph had every opportunity to do what he wanted in that moment, but he had more integrity for himself before you than he would in partaking against your will. So when temptation whispers give us the strength to resist when we face false accusations, I pray that you would give us the patience to endure. Remind us that your presence is greater than any prison, and that you work all things for the good of those who are called according to your purposes. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
