Genesis 39 tells the familiar story of Joseph’s rise to the highest place of responsibility in Potiphar’s house—and the attempt of Potiphar’s wife to seduce him.
What I did not recall was:
“It came about as she spoke to Joseph day after day, that he did not listen to her to lie beside her or be with her” (39:10).
Oh, may the Lord give me the same tenacity in resisting temptation—not just by gritting my teeth and holding out one more day, but with the awareness of sin’s utterly empty promises and of the freedom and life and grace that we taste by “fleeing.”
