God Be With You
Genesis 39:1: Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there.
2: The Lord was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.

The Bible calls Joseph a prosperous man even through he was a slave to an Egyptian. Joseph was not prosperous because of the things he possessed but, he prospered because the Lord was with Him. When the Lord is with us, we may not have all things we desire or the lifestyle we want YET but, we are still prosperous.

Genesis 41:41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”

Between Genesis 39 and Genesis 41, Joseph went through difficult situations but, that did not shake his commitment to God. Joseph could have said “why me Lord” or “I tried this God thing and it doesn’t work” but, he stayed committed to God. By Joseph keeping his commitment to God, God caused him to prosper in everything he did, receive favor with man, and became ruler over Egypt.
Don’t allow your current situation effect your faith in God or His promises in your life. Stay committed to God and through faith and patience we will receive our promises.

Habakkuk 2:4 “See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright— but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness — 3:17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.

We live from faith to faith. We stand in faith and do not waiver when our eyes do not see what we are believing God for. We praise God always, find our joy in Him, and continue to stand in faith because He is God (Titus 1:2)!
