Message
Joseph’s determination and discipline in overcoming temptation in Potiphar’s house has continued to inspire millions through the ages. Joseph was a dutiful servant in his master’s house, minding his business, but the master’s wife was used by the devil to tempt him to sleep with her. This tells us that temptation will always come our way irrespective of who we are. Potiphar’s wife was probably attracted to Joseph because he did his job well and was excellent at what he did. She was used by Satan to lure him into sin to destroy the great plans that God had for him. But Joseph overcame.
As youths, we should be careful when we have some privileges and talents. The devil will always send tempters our way to lure us into sin and destroy God’s great plans for our future. As a child of God, your future is bright and great and you must guard it jealously. Joseph violently separated himself from the temptress and fled. We must be intentional in separating ourselves from youths, places, and situations that can make us sin against God.
