Tuesday – Pentateuch
Reading – Genesis 39-40
Highlight Verse:
“The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.”
Genesis 39:2 NLT
Did you ever notice that God is credited with Joseph’s success. Three times in chapter 39, the phrase “the Lord was with Joseph” occurs.
That’s not to say that Joseph wasn’t a good man.
He was.
But the reason for his success was His relationship with God and to fulfill the plans He had for him.
God didn’t reward him with success. He blessed him with success.
His integrity was a result of His relationship with God, not the basis for the relationship.
Our success in the eyes of God does not depend on how good we are or how diligently we work. It is a matter of relationship with God.
Do you trust God to bless you with success?
In what ways is God blessing you with success? Are you willing to let Him use you to make a difference?
