When God is With You

Scripture:

Genesis 39:23 "The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did".

Observation:

In this story about Joseph you can see the hand of God working in this man's life in amazing ways.  Whenever he is in a bad situation, it says, 'The lord was with Joseph'.  He came out of every bad situation because the Lord was with him.  God always brought Joseph to the top of those around him.  When God is with you, even bad situations are turned to good. 

Application:

When God is with you, even your enemies seem to give you promotions and raises.  When God is with you as He was with Joseph, bad things happen, but even in the bad things, God brings promotion and blessing your way.  I want the blessing of God on my life.  I want to live a life where incredible odds are beaten every time because God is with me.  How do I get God to be with me?  He already is, but He also said seek me and you will find me when you seek for me with all your heart.  The answer...seek Him more in every situation.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, You are faithful.  It is amazing how you were with Joseph and you blessed him in the midst of terrible happenings.  I want You to be with me every day.  I want Your presence in my life.  I want to walk with You and talk with You.  I am Yours.

Love,
Jeff
