He was Potiphar’s slave, but Joseph was a prosperous young man. When you read from the first verse of Genesis 39, you’ll see that Potiphar recognised that the Lord was with Joseph and that all he did prospered. So he put him in charge of his entire household and everything he had; and God blessed him for Joseph’s sake (Genesis 39:1-5).
The purpose God called and chose you for is so that through you He can show forth His manifold wisdom, and demonstrate His excellence to your world. He wants to prove His extraordinary greatness in your life. Deuteronomy 28:13 says of you, “You’ll be the head and not the tail; you’ll be above only and not beneath” (Paraphrased). Being the head doesn’t necessarily mean becoming the CEO of a global organisation; it means being blessed and becoming a blessing to others.
Determine today to live up to your calling as God’s symbol of blessings to your world. Let others take notice that because of you, favour, increase, and progress have come into their lives.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for blessing me and making me a blessing. I’m a carrier and distributor of your blessing and grace to my world. Through me, you show forth your manifold wisdom and demonstrate your excellent greatness. My family, school, neighbourhood, city, and nation are all blessed for my sake, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
