Clement NgalaHOST
He remained consistent before God.
Clement NgalaHOST
in Genesis 39, verse 2 to 4, the Bible says the Lord was with Joseph and he was successful.
Clement NgalaHOST
He was a successful man.
Clement NgalaHOST
And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

Clement NgalaHOST
So a pious life that honors God can experience divine favor that open doors that human ability cannot open.
Clement NgalaHOST
We see this example is Joseph.
Clement NgalaHOST
In Genesis 39 verse 21, the Bible says in Genesis 29, Genesis 39 verse 21, but the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy.
Clement NgalaHOST
and he gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
They may have been laughing, but it's not the way you think it is.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
Let's take Genesis 39 as another example.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
Verse 10 of Genesis 39 says, And as she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not listen to her to lie beside her or to be with her.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
But one day when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house were there in the house, she caught him by his garment saying, lie with me.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
But he left his garment in her hand and he fled and got out of the house.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
Again, many translations make this clear by rendering this word as to make sport.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
So let's take that slide again, and you'll see that illicit behavior become a lot more noticeable.
Devin HutchinsonHOST
Now clearly in Genesis 39, we're not talking about laughing at someone.
Aaron GallagherHOST
Everything he could have done, everything he could have wanted, nobody looking at him, and yet...
Aaron GallagherHOST
Let's read Genesis 39.
Aaron GallagherHOST
Someone wanna read Genesis 39? Read, like, verses, I don't know, one through nine, I guess.
Aaron GallagherHOST
Just Genesis 39:1-9.
EpifanioGUEST
I got it.
Aaron GallagherHOST
Okay.
PeterHOST
The Bible was talking about Joseph.
PeterHOST
In Genesis 39, the Bible says, The Lord blessed the house of his master for Joseph's sake.
PeterHOST
Because Joseph was in that environment, the Lord blessed the house of Potiphar.
PeterHOST
That's in Genesis 39, verse 5.
PeterHOST
The Bible says, So it was from the time that he had made him a seer over his house, and all that he had that the lord blessed the egyptians house for joseph's sake and the blessing of the lord was on all that he had in the house and in the feet look at that the presence of joseph In the house of Potiphar.
PeterHOST
Brought blessing.
EdGUEST
The Bible tells us that Joseph, after being sold into slavery, he became the most trusted steward of Potiphar.
EdGUEST
Bear with me, Genesis 39:2-9.
EdGUEST
I will skip a few verses here.
EdGUEST
"The Lord was with Joseph." Pay attention the word with.
10 MINS LATER
EdGUEST
So Joseph suffered a righteous suffering, an undeserved suffering.
EdGUEST
He was thrown into the prison, not because of his wrongdoings, but because he was doing what was right.
EdGUEST
But then Genesis 39 verse 21 tells us, "But the Lord was with Joseph." Do you notice the word again? God is always with Joseph.
EdGUEST
It wasn't because he was in the right place at the right time.
Mike McClure Jr.GUEST
[laughing] A part of this series.
Mike McClure Jr.GUEST
Genesis 39:22.
Mike McClure Jr.GUEST
When you got it, shout I got it.
Mike McClure Jr.GUEST
I got it.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
Some say it refers to immoral conduct, which usually means something sexual, something devious in that way.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
And he's making reference in here to Genesis 39, 17, in which this is the word Potiphar, who tries to tempt Joseph.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
into Potiphar's wife who tries to tempt Joseph into a sexual relationship in Genesis 39, actually accuses Joseph of, to her husband, saying this is what he was trying to do to her, that she was trying to, that he was trying to, whatever that means, to mock or something like that.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
And obviously this is understood as sexually deviant behavior in which Joseph should be in trouble for.
Marcus RubensteinHOST
Others explain that it refers to murder, right? And this verb is also used in 2 Samuel 2.14, let the young men, I pray thee, arise and make sport before us where they fought with and killed one another.
Morgan ErvinGUEST
So in Genesis, Joseph is trafficked into slavery by his brothers.
Morgan ErvinGUEST
And in Genesis 39, Genesis 39, the text will not repeating one sentence.
Morgan ErvinGUEST
The Lord was with Joseph.
Morgan ErvinGUEST
Verse two, verse three, He's falsely accused, thrown in prison.
Peter C. BenderHOST
He was sold by his brothers to Ishmaelite slave traders who sold him to Potiphar who was captain of the guard.
Peter C. BenderHOST
And the text of Genesis 39 makes it clear that the Lord was with Joseph, and because the Lord was with him, he served his master Potiphar faithfully.
Peter C. BenderHOST
And it even indicates that Potiphar recognized that the Lord, Yahweh, the God of Israel, was indeed with Joseph.
Peter C. BenderHOST
So he recognized the blessing that came to him through the faithfulness of Joseph, who was a believer in the Lord.
Dana MiglioriHOST
And that's the detail I don't want us to miss.
Dana MiglioriHOST
Genesis 39 repeatedly tells us the Lord was with Joseph.
Dana MiglioriHOST
God was with him in Potiphar's house and God was with him in prison.
Dana MiglioriHOST
That's important because Joseph's circumstances didn't immediately communicate God's presence.
