Bacaan tahunan: Deuteronomy 11-13

I know of a fellowship of churches annual theme: "Decent Community Trust". The church is aware that the live testimony of Christians as a whole should be so firmly to make a deal with anyone who also feels stable, comfortable, peaceful, and safe. However, in certain places or situations, could be a practice is not easy.

Different places, different situations are not dim the quality of life of Joseph. Wherever he is, people believe him and trust him an important job. In Potiphar's house is a luxury, and in a harsh prison (paragraph 4, 22). Why so? Because Joseph smart and skilled in management? Could be. But the author of Genesis, the main reason was because "the Lord was with Joseph and made ​​what was done successfully" (verses 2, 23). Joseph aware of it. He knew God's attention to the choices that he took the time to work (verse 9), so of course he always did his best as a form of respect and love for God.

Everyone would want with God like Joseph and succeed. However, if we really include the Lord in what we do? God meant to include care for the choices are aligned with His Word, whatever the situation. Such choices can be trusted. You should contact the people who live with us to feel steady and secure, knowing they are dealing with the children of God who always include God in all things. - DKL
