Genesis 39:10
And as she spoke to Joseph day after day,
he would not listen to her, to lie beside her or to be with her.
Sin was pursuing Joseph. This wasn't a
matter of Joseph merely staying offline or avoiding the clickbait, this was the
pop up ad trying to make you its prey. This is a predator stalking the
perimeter, the stumbling block inserting itself under your feet, finding you
and hoping to find you out. But Joseph resisted. By grace through faith in God
alone, he endured the onslaught of opportunity after opportunity proving that
even for mere men in every temptation God has provided a way of escape, that we
can endure it.
What an amazing gift of God - the strength to obey under extreme duress. I so admire Joseph! Yet another glimpse of Christ - tempted in every way, and yet without sin.
