GOD'S FAVOR IS UPON HIS PEOPLE WHOM HE CHOSE, NOT BECAUSE THEY CHOSE HIM
If you've read even a little of the Bible, you have probably crossed a passage or two where it talked about someone having God's favor or otherwise seeking it.
God's favor is God's grace and goodness being actively displayed in one's circumstances. It can produce an anointing, such as for a prophet, or a special guidance, as with Moses or Abraham as they travelled in the way God led them, or it can involve miraculous occurrences that bring about a good end, such as with the Israelites when they left Egypt or parting the Red Sea, or the provision of leadership, authority, and honor as with Joseph in Egypt. Joseph found favor with Potiphar and was placed in charge of Potiphar's household. The Lord was with Joseph and blessed everything he did ( Genesis 39:2-6). In Exodus 3:21, God promised to give the Israelites favor with the Egyptians so they would give them silver, gold and clothing as they left Egypt.
From reading the OT we can know that God chose the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to be the people He would shed His favor upon. It was not because they were so great in number among the other nations, nor was it because of their righteousness, or because of their steadfastness in their faith in Him or their superiority to those of other nations. It was solely due to God's sovereign choice. ( Dt. 7:6-8). He could have chosen any other people or nation if He had determined before creation to use this other nation to fulfill His plan. But, before creation He had determined that the eternal, divine Son would be incarnated through Mary of the Jews. Therefore, God chose Israel as His favored people, because from them, the Messiah would be born and live and die to save those God chose to save from pre-creation.

This account of Joseph in Potiphar's house is familiar to many. Joseph was 17 when he arrived in Potiphar's household. It does not say how much time had elapsed until Potiphar noticed that God prospered Joseph in all he did. Joseph knew God. Jacob most likely shared his faith with Joseph and taught Him what he knew. I do not think that Joseph was very mature in His faith when he first arrived in Egypt. God favored and prospered Joseph in accordance with His will and purpose for Joseph's life. Joseph did not merit this favor and prosperity. But God blessed him more so than others.
I think that these blessings encouraged to look to God more and more. They strengthened his faith and resolve to follow God's ways.
Potiphar was an important official to the Pharaoh. He most likely had many responsibilities along with prestige among the people. He noticed Joseph, a slave, and chose to give Joseph responsibility over his household. This was quite and honor as well as putting Joseph under a microscope, so to speak. Potiphar's wife noticed Joseph, too. But not in a good way. She say that Joseph was young, and handsome, and virile. She desired to seduce him into adultery and attempted this repeatedly over a period of time.
Joseph must have been careful not to be alone in the house with her. But one day, he had to be in the house to do some task and he was alone there with the wife. She tried to ensnare him again, but he repelled her advances once again, running away from the the occasion for sin. His refusal to lie with the wife landed him in prison, as Potiphar either believed his wife or wanted to protect her reputation and honor.
Even in prison, God favored Joseph and intervened to have Joseph be put in charge of the other prisoners. God was further developing Joseph's leadership skills, but, more importantly, God was forming Joseph's character.
Joseph was not perfect. None of us are. So, God did not favor him because he was perfect, but because he was His.

I do not think that Joseph's owner actually thought that Joseph had tried.to rape his wife. He knew how she was or he would not have put Joseph in the Kings prison . This prison was for the higher society criminals . His hand was forced and he had to do something .
Genesis chip.39=====This is beautiful that's to show no matter where we're or what happen to Us through life,
As long as we choose Jesus as first in Our lives n serve Him He will never leave to rott or drown because HeJesus is Always beside n walking with u all the way. So friends don't give up don't throw in the towel hang on for that on seen MightyArm is there with us strengthen us
Whom is bless by The Almighty God will be always bless.... Remember they can kill the body but the soul is His the blood is Life
Be Bless n keep looking up He's coming Very Soon Amen n Amen
Wow. Goes to show take away the man, but you cannot take away his God. He did no wrong yet accused of wrong doing, but God was with him that even the keeper of the prison favored him. Amazing and humbling person.
In the Greco-Roman, idol-worshiping culture of Paul's day, sex of all kinds had been normalized for nearly everyone. That included prostitution, adultery, pedophilia, homosexuality, and so forth. Growing up in this environment, it's not surprising to think some of the Christians in Corinth had trouble seeing sex outside of marriage as a big deal. Paul has spent this chapter showing why avoiding sexual immorality is so essential for believers.
Now he gives them a strategy for dealing with it: run. He tells them to flee from sexual immorality. Run away like you are escaping from something that might harm you, because it will. Even if the culture despises you for it, it's better to escape from sexual sin than to be conquered by it ( Genesis 39:7-12).
Paul shows that sexual immorality is different from other kinds of sin because it's a form of self-harm. We might commit other sins with our bodies, but sexual immorality unites us sinfully with another person. This happens on a deeply physical and spiritual level. We will experience the natural consequences of that sin at that deep level, as well.
It's important to note that Paul did not write that sexual immorality is the worst of all sins, as we sometimes conclude. Instead, he is combatting the casual attitude toward sexual sin carried by some Christians in hyper-sexualized cultures. In addition to hurting others, sexual immorality contributes to our own deep pain. It's no more or less a sin than any other, but human cultures tend to treat it more casually than other errors. Galatians 6:7-16 King James Version (KJV) 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Now please know that I believe that every sin is forgiven by God through Jesus Christ & his atoning death on the cross. I John 1:9 KJV
In life, we go through many trials and tribulations, seen and unforseen.... So when I read this scripture " I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD. I know "Father God" hears my cry, listens to me when I talk.... And shields and protects me, family, friends etc., UNCONDITIONALLY!
Here I see a man who trusted God in every situation,and the God who is forever faithful,we only need to know that no matter what we go through or face in life,God is our ultimate savior,there is nothing too hard for God
Harold Junior Cranford on Genesis 39 - 7 years ago
I see God's hand in the life of Joseph from the day his father sent him to look for his brothers through his powerful position as Egypt's leader second only to the king himself. Praise God!
Galatian 5:22-23 Fruit of Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Control, Gentleness and Faith
Joseph lived a Spirit filled life, in his life we can see the fruit of the Spirit. He did not fall for worldly life style. He loved God, had the joy of the Lord, had Peace with God, had self control. Gen39:6 he was good person, above all he had relationship with God
Potiphar's wife lied on Joseph and he was unjustly imprisoned as a result of this. In this unjust world we will face injustices, but God will be sure to correct matters in His own way and in His own time.
Simon kariithi muthee on Genesis 39 - 10 years ago
I see the power of integrity in the life of joseph. He had the fear of the lord in his heart. As christians, we need to be real whether we're in darkness where no one else is seeing us. God sees every where. Let integrity watch over your life as did to joseph.Glory be to God. Integrity will protect us and lead us to a life that will please God. Decide never to please man to the expense of your relationship with God.
