Walking with God

Genesis 39-41; Luke 16 

“The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered…the Lord gave him success in everything he did. Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him charge of his household and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.”  Genesis 39:2-4

The presence of the Lord is the most valuable reality we can pursue. Joseph valued and lived in God’s presence. Despite being enslaved by his brothers and living in a foreign country, Joseph recognized the most valuable attribute of his life was God’s presence. God gave Joseph success, authority, and wealth, but initially, not freedom. Joseph was being prepared to lead Egypt.

Will we, too, pursue the presence and favor of God above any gift or success that he can give to us?

Even though our circumstances might be very challenging, God is preparing us to rule and reign with him. Learning to be faithful with whatever God gives us to do is the key to being entrusted with more. We can all live for the presence of the Lord as we learn to walk with God every day.

“Lord God, your presence is my greatest joy and pursuit. Thank you for your favor, empowerment, love, and hand in my life, for your glory.”
