HEAR Journaling - Genesis 39
Highlight – Genesis 39:19-21 New Living Translation
Joseph Put in Prison
19 Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife’s story about how Joseph had treated her. 20 So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and there he remained. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.
Explain – The story of Joseph continues from chapter 37. Joseph was doing well in Potiphar house until Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce him. Joseph remained faithful and obedient to the Lord and was blessed in prison with the favor of the prison warden.
Apply – The application for us is to realize that sometimes things do not seem to be going well in our own eyes. But God has a bigger and better plan. We need to remain faithful and obedient in the Lord so that His will is accomplished.
