Dear St Paul’s family:
I pray that you are being encouraged as we journey through the life of Joseph. We saw last Sunday that Joseph faced 3 temptations – the temptation for power, the temptation for physical pleasure, and the temptation to despair. While the first two temptations are explicit in Joseph’s encounter with Potipher’s wife, the third hangs behind the scene, yet it is there. The temptation to despair strikes us when we have done everything right and life still goes sideways. We can succumb to despair, or we can trust that, just like in Joseph’s life, God is quietly working for our care and good to accomplish his grand purpose in our lives. Let’s hold on to faith!
See you Sunday as we continue our journey through Joseph in the book of Genesis.
Pastor Evan
