Success in EVERYTHING

 Scripture:

"The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master."

Observation:

Everywhere Joseph went, he succeeded, even when things were really bad. The reason for his success, "The Lord was with Joseph." God's favor was on his life in a special way. He not only succeeded; he succeeded in EVERYTHING he did. 

Application:

God loves us and wants good things for us. He wants His children to succeed in everything they do. That's the dream of every good father. We want our kids to be successful in every area. The key to this story is that "God was with Joseph." That should be our cry. When God is with us, things work so much better. When God is with us, favor comes upon us. God said if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. Therefore, my application is that I much continuously draw nearer and nearer to God.

Prayer:

Lord, I want to abide in the vine. I want to remain connected to You as my source in every moment of every day. Teach me to walk with You and to fulfill Your will for my life. Be with me as You were with Joseph. Let EVERYTHING I touch be successful

Your Son,
