One of my favorite persons in the Bible is Joseph. I admire him because he lived an exemplary life in the midst of a pagan nation and prospered in spite of it. Joseph's brothers were jealous of him. They talked ugly about him, plotted and schemed against him, even discussing murdering him, but who knows you can't stop the plan of God!
God did indeed have a plan for Joseph's life. When Potiphar's evil wife tried to seduce young, handsome Joseph, he ran. That should be an example for today's youth, or anyone for that matter. When the devil tries to seduce and entrap you, run! God will always make a way of escape. Don't linger around the devil and his playground.
When Joseph foiled the devil's evil plan by running, Potiphar's wife lied and told her husband Joseph tried to seduce her. The devil can do nothing but lie, but even she could not stop the plan of God in Joseph's life. Joseph had the favor of God on him. He was a Godly young man and God's favor was on him.
Joseph was wealthy and he was wise. Why? Because he served God and gave Him first place in his life. Be encouraged today and learn from the life of Joseph, who is a type of Christ. If you walk in love and forgiveness, you'll also have the favor of God in your life. The devil can't stop God's train of favor! It will run over him every time.
