Morning Scripture
“Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.” But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?””
Genesis 39:6-9 NKJV

“So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat! Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, and Potiphar’s wife soon began to look at him lustfully. “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded. But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.””

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for an example of integrity when faced with temptation. Father, remind us that when others attempt to lead us away from our purpose and our responsibilities that we should lean into you and your strength. Help us to be faithful to the gifts that you have blessed us with. Also, Lord, help us to be reminded not to tempt others, not to challenge others to stray and become deceptive. Father, we need you. Pour into us your spirit of honesty, truth, and integrity. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen.

Morning Scripture
“So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him. Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it. So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened. Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.” Genesis 37:23-24, 26-28 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.37.23-24,26-28.nkjv “So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing. Then they grabbed him and threw him into the cistern. Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it. Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain by killing our brother? We’d have to cover up the crime. Instead of hurting him, let’s sell him to those Ishmaelite traders. After all, he is our brother—our own flesh and blood!” And his brothers agreed. So when the Ishmaelites, who were Midianite traders, came by, Joseph’s brothers pulled him out of the cistern and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver. And the traders took him to Egypt.” Genesis 37:23-24, 26-28 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.37.23-24,26-28.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, forgive us when we are jealous and carry out our deception and deceit. Forgive us when we covet things or positions and do anything possible to disrupt them. Father, teach us to guard our hearts, so that when we see the success or even favoritism of others we are reminded that you are our source and you will provide for us. Father, teach us the joy of what you have already provided. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?” And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.”” Genesis 37:31-33 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.37.31-33.nkjv “Then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s robe in its blood. They sent the beautiful robe to their father with this message: “Look at what we found. Doesn’t this robe belong to your son?” Their father recognized it immediately. “Yes,” he said, “it is my son’s robe. A wild animal must have eaten him. Joseph has clearly been torn to pieces!”” Genesis 37:31-33 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.37.31-33.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, teach us to take responsibility for the actions that we take that we know are wrong. Teach us to be truthful even in the midst of chaos. Teach us to be honorable, even when the cards are stacked against us. And, Father, please forgive us when we practice to deceive and end up buried in the aftermath. Good Lord, pour into us your spirit. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen . Wow!!! A couple of things ….

Help us to see that you are in the midst of all situations. Thank you, Lord, for your tender, loving care. In Jesus’ name we pray, praise, and breathe with gratitude. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field.” Genesis 39:3-5 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/gen.39.3-5.nkjv “Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.” Genesis 39:3-5 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/gen.39.3-5.nlt |
