Scripture: Genesis 39.  

OBSERVATION
(Key verses)

Genesis 39:9 (NLT)

9 No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”

APPLICATION
(How Can I apply what God is saying here to my life today?)

I believe that it would make a big difference if, instead of consciously doing something wrong, that we stop ourselves from doing the wrong because it is a sin against God. Yes, I agree that many of the evil things that we do will hurt a brother or a sister in the Lord, and that is awful, but more than that friend, when we commit our lives to the Lord, we are vowing to live our lives patterned after Him. Let us therefore be committed to a life pleasing to God, a life of love, joy, peace, harmony and forgiveness.

PRAYER
(What I will ask of God, in order for me to properly apply His Word to my life)

Lord Jesus, thank You for the option of choice in our everyday lives. My choice is to please You in all that I do and say, dear Lord. In order to accomplish that I will need Your help, guidance, patience, humbleness of heart and Your love. Thank You for loving me so much to work with me in molding me to be more like You. May this be evident in the eyes of those that I come into contact with today, and may they have the desire to know You personally, is my prayer today.
