Scripture:
“The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.” Genesis 39:23 NLT
Observation:
Joseph was put into prison on false accusation, and still God was with him and caused him to prosper. He was trustworthy, even when he had been cheated. Because of Joseph, the warden didn’t have to worry about anything. Even when put in a bad situation, Joseph responded with grace and rose to the top. His humility and great attitude caused God to bless his and make him successful.
Application:
Having a great attitude when being done wrong and being trustworthy are incredible traits that honor God. When we are falsely accused and suffering from it, we have an option to remain humble, honest, and have a good attitude, or to become bitter and angry. Those who remain humble, honest, and maintain a great attitude will rise up every time. Attitude determines altitude. We must see every position we are in, good or bad, as a place God can use us and raise us up. We must maintain a good attitude.
Prayer:
Father, Joseph is one of my favorite people in the Bible. He maintained a good attitude in a bad position and You blessed him for it. He didn’t get angry when most would have. He walked in patience, when others would have been bitter. Help me to walk with simple integrity, humility, patience, and a great attitude when things don’t go my way. Give me a heart You can trust and raise up.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
