And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her. Genesis 39:10
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, "This is how your slave treated me," he burned with anger. Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. Genesis 39:19-21
Father God,
Help me to be as Joseph who refuses DAY AFTER DAY to go to bed with sin or even be near her! Help me when this results in my imprisonment and my exile to know Your presence in a real and profound way. Help me to KNOW your kindness and be granted Your favor in the eyes of those who would seek to imprison me. LORD, be with me that I might not fail You.
Amen
