What do we do when we face the darkest valley's of our lives. The pits. The times we are betrayed, let down, and wounded. We hate valley times. But From Joseph life we discover God is still at work in the darkest valleys of our lives. In fact, He intentionally leads us there.
"Resist" is a common rallying cry in our culture. However, as followers of God we are called to resist the ways of the world. As we finish our journey through Genesis we'll discover a man who resisted revenge, sexual temptation, and dependence on the ways of the world.
Our culture tends to want us to be defined by our circumstances. Where we grow up. What race we are. The circumstances we face. But the Kingdom of God turns that view upside down. According to Scripture, we don't have to be defined by circumstances, but rather we can define our circumstances by character. From this story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife we discover integrity trumps circumstances.
