Do Three Things - Genesis 45

S - Genesis 45:17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you must do: Load your pack animals, and hurry back to the land of Canaan. 18 Then get your father and all of your families, and return here to me. I will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best that the land produces.’”
O - Because of Joseph and his willingness to do a few things, his entire family and their households were to become blessed by the Pharoah of Egypt. Joseph did these three things continually which led to this. First, he never stopped following and trusting in God. Even though things looked pretty bad when he was in prison and he was all but forgotten, he never gave up on God. Second, he was honest. In Potipher's house he was put in charge of everything and when Potipher's wife tried to seduce Joseph, He said that he couldn't do this to his master as he was in charge of everything and couldn't do this to him. And third, he was faithful to God and shared where his true strength came from when given the opportunity. Before he interpretted Pharoah's dream he said that he couldn't do it but God would do this. If he was this bold in front of one of the most powerful persons in the world at that time, I can only imagine that he was this bold in sharing where his strength came from with others.
A - I too can do these three things; continually follow and trust God, by honest, and share God with others. I know that when I do these three very simple things God will bless me and my family as well. God is the same today as He was then and will continue to be the same in the future. He doesn't have favorites and will bless those that follow Him and do his will. I choose today to step out and do these three things every single day. Not so that I will be blessed, but as a small way to show my thanks for all that He has done for me.
P - God, I thank you so very much for all that you has done for me and the blessings that you have showered down on my family and me over the years. I pray for wisdom and strength to go about my day today in a way that pleases you and bring glory and honor to you. Help me to be the man that you have called me to be and to done the things that you have called me to do. I pray that you will continue to protect and bless me and my family and that you would continue to keep my family save and healthy as they are away from me. I love you Heavenly Father!
