Degrees of mercy in the midst of all the agony of rejection and betrayal
Genesis 39:1-6
In Genesis 39:1-6 it says, “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand. So, Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he
made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had in the house and in the field. Thus, he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.” Because ofGod\’s anointing, Joseph found great favor with Potiphar, a government official. Potiphar began to prosper and as a result,Joseph was promoted. So we suddenly see a degree of mercy in the midst of all the agony of rejection and betrayal Josephhad suffered. God showed favor to Joseph in Potiphar’s house.
