Steve Hill: November 25 It Comes from the Lord And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. Genesis 39:2 This is an awesome story. If you’ve never taken the time to study the life of Joseph, it would be well worth your effort. Here was a man living in bondage, yet God was blessing him. I am reminded of how many Christians are working daily in secular businesses, yet God is mightily blessing them and using them for the promotion of His kingdom. I wanted to share with you some excellent Christian truths that Rev. Joseph Parker gleaned from the life of Joseph. The Lord was with Joseph, and yet Joseph was under Potiphar. Undoubtedly this is an abnormal state of life. Joseph was brought down to Egypt by his purchasers. He was bought, sold and exchanged like an article of merchandise; yet, he was a prosperous man! Understand that there are difficulties which cannot impair prosperity, and that there is a prosperity which dominates over all external circumstances. It seems hardly correct to assert that Joseph was a prosperous man when he was to all intents and purposes in bondage. He was the property of another. Not one hour of his time belonged to himself. He was cut off from his father and from his brethren. Yet, it is distinctly stated that, notwithstanding these things, the Lord was with him and he was prosperous. Friend, you never know the final outcome of the circumstances you may find yourself in, but God does! Like Joseph, if you remain faithful to God and trust fully in Him, you will not only realize your reward in the long run, you will learn to be happy in all circumstances along the way. 1 Chronicles 21; 1 Peter 2; Jonah 4; Luke 9 Steve Hill Ministries | P.O.
