The Lord Holds SUCCESS in Store for the Upright

TO REMEMBER:

So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, & he was made responsible for all that was done there. The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph & gave him SUCCESS in whatever he did.

?– Gen.39:22-23

TO UNDERSTAND:

With GOD’s help Joseph got favor of the Prison Warden! It didnt take long for him to become ‘the head’ & not ‘the tail’ among the prisoners. He didn’t need any special designation & used his natural leadership qualities to avoid saying ‘no’ to responsibilities. With Joseph in charge, the warden could be tension-free!

Though the written ‘Word of GOD’ was not with Joseph, “GOD’s presence” led to “knowing GOD’s Will”. And, “Doing GOD’s will” led him to have SUCCESS in all he did!

The Lord holds SUCCESS in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless. (Prov.2:7)

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous & SUCCESSFUL. (Josh.1:8)
