Devo – Genesis 39

  1. Integrity in Temptation (Genesis 39:7-9):
    When faced with tempting situations, I will remember Joseph’s example of standing firm in his integrity and choosing righteousness.
  2. Hard Work and Success (Genesis 39:2-4):
    Like Joseph, I will put in diligent effort in my work, trusting that God can bring success even in challenging circumstances.
  3. Handling False Accusations (Genesis 39:11-18):
    If wrongly accused, I will follow Joseph’s example by keeping a clear conscience and relying on God’s justice, even in the face of false accusations.
  4. Resisting Sin (Genesis 39:9):
    Just as Joseph refused to give in to Potiphar’s wife’s advances, I will strive to resist any sinful desires and maintain moral purity and only have desire for my wife.
  5. God’s Presence in Trials (Genesis 39:21-23):
    When facing difficult times, I will trust that God is with me, as He was with Joseph in prison, and believe that He can turn situations around for my good.
  6. Forgiveness and Grace (Genesis 39:5-6):
    Joseph’s forgiving attitude toward his brothers serves as a reminder to extend grace and forgiveness, even to those who have wronged me.
  7. God’s Sovereignty (Genesis 39:2, 21):
    Recognizing God’s hand in Joseph’s rise from slavery to a position of authority, I will remember that God’s sovereignty is at work in my life as well.
  8. Patience in Waiting (Genesis 39:20):
    When faced with delays or setbacks, I will exercise patience, trusting that God’s timing is perfect and He can turn situations around in due time.
  9. Remaining Faithful in Isolation (Genesis 39:20-23):
    Joseph’s faithfulness even in prison reminds me to maintain my faith and integrity, even when circumstances seem isolated or bleak.
  10. Humility and Recognition (Genesis 39:3):
    I will adopt a humble attitude in my achievements, acknowledging that any success I experience is ultimately due to God’s blessings.
