Daily Devotions: God Tests Character Until The Time of Destiny - January 19, 2024 DD

Today, as Pastor Sumrall reads the story of Joseph from Genesis 39 and Psalm 105, He reminds us that the secret to great success is the presence of God in our lives and that as we move toward the dreams, goals, and destiny that God has for our lives, He will continue to test our character, and it will be our choice to remain steadfast and
Psalm 105:17-19 NLT
Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them-
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
They bruised his feet with fetters
and placed his neck in an iron collar.
Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,
the Lord tested Joseph’s character.
Genesis 39:2 NLT
The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.
Genesis 39:4-6 NLT
This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished. So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing-except what kind of food to eat!
Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man,
Genesis 39:8-10 NLT
But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.” She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her, and he kept out of her way as much as possible.
