Today's Reflection
February 21, 2016
Topic: Flee the evil desire of your Youth.
Text: Genesis 39:6b-9
Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. 7. And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "lie with me." 8. But he refused and said to his master's wife, "look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
9. There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? NKJV
Brethren, today many young men and women are taking delight in sleeping with their mistress, masters and others to satisfied the evil desires. No matter how much people talks about love and defend sex outside marriage, the experience is wrong, cheap and demeaning. Formication and adultery change pure river into a sewer and transform free people into sleeves and animals.
Joseph the outstanding example in today's reflection, couldn't sacrifice either his purity or integrity to please his master's wife, but with determination he fought day by day and succeeded.
Joseph can honor the offer being made by his master's wife but he new his call and also know that.
1. She (master's wife) is another man's wife and the man was his master.
2. He was trusted by his master and didn't want to violate that trust. And
3. Even if nobody else found out about it, God would know and will not be displeased.
Self control is an important tool in building character and preparation for leadership. Flee the evil desire of your youth. God bless u and See You on Top.
