The Lord helps!

But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy.
Genesis 39:21

The Lord helps!
Joseph lived in a wealthy family. His father loved him. He himself was intelligent and good-looking. So he grew up like many teenagers, where everything seemed to go according to plan.

Joseph believed in God and proved his love for Him by obeying his father and serving his brothers. Although they hated him, he sought them out to inquire about their welfare. And this is where his problems began: his brothers threw him into a pit and a little later sold him as a slave. He was taken to Egypt, where he served Potiphar faithfully and resisted the temptation to sin. Then he was put in prison on false charges.

How unfairly and unjustly Joseph was treated! Yet his faith endured. How was this possible? “The Lord was with Joseph.” That is why he was able to remain faithful to God in both slavery and prison.

As you face daily challenges as a young Christian, remember Joseph. Life is often unfair! The temptation to sin can suddenly come upon you. Where can you find strength and help not to cave in when these difficulties arise?

The Lord is with you and stands by you so that you can remain faithful to Him. In His grace He helps you to bear the unrighteous behaviour of others and to say no to sin.

Today’s reading: 2 Kings 9:17-29 · John 20:1-10

A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
