Joseph's Example
Scripture:
"The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph's charge, because the Lord was with him. And whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed."
Genesis 39:23
Observations:
-Joseph was so trustworthy with his responsibilities that the keeper of the prison "paid no attention to anything" that Joseph was in charge of. This was a prisoner in a jail. Joseph developed an extremely high level of trust with the warden of the jail. I am sure that wasn't common.
-The difference with Joseph was that "the Lord was with him". That had to have been bearing fruit. If God was with him, he must have been stewarding his responsibilities at a high level under the influence of the Holy Spirit, most likely. When we are walking closely with God, it will bear fruit such as being a better employee or worker in general.
-"Whatever he did, the Lord made it succeed." Joseph was so pleasing to the Lord that He made anything Joseph touched succeed.
A. I was reading this passage this morning. I asked myself, "Would someone be able to say this about me?"
I want to live in such a way that God and people can trust me with any responsibility.
P. Father, help me to live like Joseph. Help me to be a good steward of the responsibility you give me. Let me live in such a way that you will always be close to me and people will be able to notice. Amen.
