Shalom, dear one, Thanks Peter God for the blessing of

a new day and for the privilege to fellowship with

him in his word. Let us have a sharple international

dynamical marty and facilitating today's episode of the morning Glory

devotion is Pastor and Missus Digrafteria. Let us share a

word of prayer. Dear Lord Jesus, thank you so much

for today. As we look into your word, we pray

that you review yourself to us and transform us by

your word in Jesus Mighty name. Amen, Yet us take

a confession from Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This book

of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth,

but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

I may observe to do according to all that is

written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

and then I will have good success in May. The

theme for this morning's devotion is Lessons from the Life

of Joseph, Part one, Silent Trust, Certain Testimony, Lessons from

the Life of Joseph Part one Silent Trust, Certain Testimony,

and our scripture reading will be from Genesis chapter thirty nine,

verse one and two. Genesis Chapter thirty nine, Verse one

and two pleaser be reading from the New Living Translation.

When Joseph was taken to Egypt by the Ishmaelite treaties,

he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. Potiphar was

captain of the God of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.

The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything

he did as he served in the home of his

Egyptian master, A man.

Lessons from the life of Joseph at one Silent trust,

certain testimony. Joseph was just seventeen years old when his

world collapsed. Out of no fault of his own. His

brothers threw him into a pit and then sowed him

into slavery. There was no trial, no explanation. One day

he was the favored son. The next day he was

property in chains, headed to a foreign land he did

not choose. He had just been shown into a season

of intense tests, trials, and tribulations. The dreams God gave

him back home suddenly looked completely dead. Yet right in

the middle of that pain. Genesis thirty nine. The verse

two highlighted the one thing that changed everything. The Lord

was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did

as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.

That was what made the difference. It's important to note

that scripture records no complaints from Joseph. He didn't cares

his brothers, he didn't argue with ptifier. He surrendered to

God's sovereignty and simply stepped into the assignments right in

front of him. He chose to silently trust God over

defending himself. Usually, when we are overwhelmed by challenges, we

attempted to demand answers. We want to scream why. But

Joseph teaches us that sometimes faith sounds like quiet trust.

It says God, I don't understand why all this is happening,

but I know you are with me, precious one. You

may find yourself certainly going through a season of loss, betrayal,

or circumstances entirely beyond your control. You might not be

able to wrap your mind around the why. But we

know the God in home we can put our trust.

He promised that in Isaiah forty three Rivers two, that

when you pass through the waters, the rivers, and the fires,

he will be with you. They will not overwhelm me.

So please don't lose your grip on God. Hold onto

his presence more tightly than you hold onto your questions.

And while you are waiting, don't let your circumstances paralyze you.

Keep saving God faithfully with your time, your talents, and

your treasures. Rite where you are. When the Lord is

with you, strength comes for today and success comes for tomorrow.

Your silent trust and your faithful service today would definitely

pay off. It is the seed of your testimony tomorrow.

Amen that us can you take our memory verse from

Genesis chapter thirty nine, that's true. Genesis chapter thirty nine.

That's true. The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded

in everything he did as he said in the home

of his Egyptian master. Amen, shall we pray I have

any Father? We thank you so much for your word

this morning. We pray that in moments when we do

not understand what may be happening around us, that your

presence will be with us, and your presence will be

enough for us to keep us going. In Jesus might

name pray. Amen, God bless you dear one for staying

through our morning glory devotion Today join us again, same

time tomorrow morning for part two of this series, Lessons

from the Life of Joseph. Until then, stay tuned and

stay blessed.
