  20. Genesis chapter thirty nine, verse five to six, I'll be

  21. reading from the New Living Translation From the day Joseph

  22. was put in charge of his master's household and property.

  23. The Lord began to bless Potify's household for Joseph's sake.

  24. All his household at first ran smoothly, and his cops

  25. and livestock flourished. So Potiphar gave Joseph a complete administrative

  26. responsibility over everything he owed with Joseph day, he didn't

  27. worry about a thing except what kind of food to eat.

  28. The word of the Lord, Thanks be to God. Lessons

  29. from the Life of Joseph. Pat Three Planted with purpose.

  30. God always has a reason for where he plants you.

  31. That Egypt. You didn't choose that jow that city, that's difficult,

  32. family dynamic, all that church assign It's not random. It

  33. is a divine assignment, carefully set up by God, not

  34. just to bless you, but to use you as a

  35. channel of blessing to the people around you. It requires

  36. one thing that you trust His sovereignty and save him

  37. unreservedly right where you are before partif I ever saw

  38. a blessing, Joseph fest showed obedience, his daily submission to

  39. the responsibility of managing a pagan officer's home. Doing it

  40. diligently with absolute integrity, day after day became the very

  41. pipeline through which partifist entire household flourished. The blessing did

  42. not come first, the obedience did. Perhaps you find yourself

  43. right now in a position you are not happy about.

  44. Maybe you've been posted to a city you never wanted

  45. to live in. Maybe you've been handed a role at

  46. work you feel with beneath you or completely outside your

  47. comfort zone. You are in a season that feels exactly

  48. like Egypt, like Joseph, don't panic, don't waste your precious

  49. energy fighting the placement. Trust God and sef Your submission

  50. to God in the place has planted you is so

  51. much bigger than you. Someone else's blessing is actively tied

  52. to your opinions. Think about it. Your faithfulness at work

  53. gives your boss peace of mind. Your integrity at home

  54. brings your family stability. Your service and ministry becomes the

  55. doorway for someone else's encounter with God. You are not

  56. just filling a role, You are carrying favor. Therefore, wherever

  57. you find yourself tomorrow morning, at a desk in a

  58. classroom or even serving quietly in a relative's home. Take

  59. it seriously, do it wholeheartedly. Don't wait for a better time,

  60. a better location, or a better title to start being faithful.

  61. Start now. God's grand plan for your life doesn't begin

  62. at the palace. It begins in the quiet obedience of

  63. seven faithfully at Potiphar's house. When you say, with all

  64. your heart, you turn your current workplace into an altar,

  65. and on that altar God builds testimonies for you and

  66. breakthroughs for the people around you. So simply trust his placement,

  67. anna his process bloom right where you are planted, because

  68. someone is waiting on the other side of your Yes. Amen,

  69. let us kind of take our memory. Verse from Genesis

  70. chapter thirty nine A. From the day Joseph was put

  71. in child of his master's household and property, the Lord

  72. began to bless Potifa's household for Joseph's sake. From the

  73. day Joseph was put in child of his master's household

  74. and property, the Lord began to bless Potifa's household for

  75. Joseph's sake. Amen, let us pray I have any Father.

  76. We thank you so much for your weather this morning.

  77. We continue to pray for grace to fully yield our

  78. lives to You, so that every plan and purpose for

  79. which you have planted us anywhere we find ourselves would

  80. be fully manifested in Jesus might name. We pray with

  81. so much thanksgiving. Amen, God, bless you dear when for

  82. staying through our morning glory devotion today join us again

  83. same time tomorrow morning for a blessed time in His presence.
