Run like Joseph

Run like Joseph!
There is a story about one of the main patriarchs in the bible whose name is Joseph.  There are many things that we learn from his life, but let's consider the time the wife of his boss Potiphar chased and tried to seduce him.  He was a servant, a worker, an employee.  She was like his boss because she was the wife of his boss.  She wanted him, but he knew better. He ran away from her like a gazelle running from a hungry lion.  Well, she got insulted and embarrassed so she lied on Joseph.  His boss, Potiphar was furious and threw him in jail.  It was unfair, unjust,  and every other "un" word you can think of.  Long story short, those circumstances eventually put him in the right place at the right time to be called up by Pharoah,  who was Potiphar's boss. He ended up higher than Potiphar and he saved two great nations, Egypt and Israel.   God was watching, and He rewarded Joseph's faithfulness.  He brought about the promise given to Joseph as a little boy.
If you see trouble coming, RUN LIKE JOSEPH! Don't stop, don't talk, don't entertain it. If you feel that you've been unjustly accused and you've been given the wrong reputation and punishment,  think about Joseph.  You might be in the wrong place, but God saw your righteousness and He will honor your faithfulness.  Say out loud during your trials, "I am a  child of God.  He sees me, hears me, and is working on my behalf.  He is my rock and my fortress. in Him will I trust." When temptation comes, and it will, RUN LIKE JOSEPH. Jesus will stand in the fire with you,  if you stand in righteousness and RUN LIKE JOSEPH 🏃🏽
