Today we continued our story of Joseph in chapter 39 of Genesis. In the chapter he is sold into slavery to the captain of the guard: Potiphar. Potiphar's wife tries to sleep with him but he ends up running away from her, so quickly he leaves her holding his cloak. She claims he tried to rape her and he is sent to prison...for doing the right thing.
What is temptation? Simply put, it is something that tries to get a person to do wrong. The devil uses many traps and tempatations to get a person to do wrong. But 1st Corinthians 10:13 tells us that when we are tempted God gives us a way out. Hebrews 2:18 and 4:15-16 tells us that Jesus was tempted but never sinned and he is the one who helps out those being tempted and we shoudl approach him in our time of need. 2nd Timothy 2:22 tells us that we are supposed to flee temptation but also pursue: righteousness, faith, love, and peace. So not just run away from temptation but run to something good.
