Genesis 39: The LORD was with Joseph

Read Genesis 39:1-23 before you meet.

In a few lines

In Egypt the LORD was with Joseph, and Potiphar's house was blessed for his sake. Joseph refused Potiphar's wife because it would betray his master and "sin against God", and when she grabbed him he left his garment and ran. She used the garment to accuse him, and he went to prison; but the LORD was with him there too and showed him kindness.

The verse to carry

“But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.”

Genesis 39:21

To talk about

  1. 1. Potiphar's wife pressed Joseph "day by day." What helps you stay firm when temptation keeps coming back?

  2. 2. Joseph did right and lost his place. How do you keep trusting God when doing right costs you?

  3. 3. "The LORD was with Joseph" in the house and in the prison. What difference does it make to know God is with you in both good places and hard ones?
