When The Lord Is With Us, We Will Be Blessed

Gen 39:2-5
2 The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. 3 When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, 4 Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. 5 From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.


Joseph was a foreigner here, yet he did great things, he had great thing, and became great, all because of one thing; the Lord was with Joseph. So many times we forget that God is with us. We do not need to be held down to our own strength, but we have the blessing of the Lord.

I need to be holy because the Lord is holy. I need to spend time in His presence. I need to read His word daily. I need to build my relationship with God. For in all this, I know that the Lord is with me, and when the Lord is with me, I will be under His umbrella of blessing.

Father God, I know that you are with me. I pay that, if I am far from you, draw me closer to You. I want to be in Your presence. I want to be near You. I pray that I seek you so fervently, and that I may find you, and be blessed by You. I pray to know you. God, continue to reveal Yourself to me everyday. Thank you, God. I pray all this, so that You may be glorified, in Jesus name.
Amen.
