The Tempted Brothers

Genesis 39:1-12


Two brothers - both far from home - faced sunular temptations. One, working away from the family, fell to the schemes of a younger woman. His sin led to embarrassment and family turmoil. The other, separated from loved ones because of family turmoil, resisted the advances of an older woman. His faithfulness led to rescue and renewal for the family.

Who are these brothers? Judah, who fell to the desperate scheme of his neglected daighter-in-law Tamar. And Joseph, who ran from the arms of Potiphar's wife. One chapter, an ugly story of irresponsibility and deception; the other, a beautiful chapter of faithfulness.

The stories of Judah and Joseph, presented back-to-back in the midst of "the history of Jacob", shos us that temptation itself is not the proble,. Everybody faces temptation, even Jesus did. But how do we face temptation? Do we demonstrate that faith in God can shield us from giving in to sin?

Joseph gave us one way of escape: Recognise sin as an affront to God and run from it. Jesus gave another: Answer temptation with truth from God's Word.

Facing temptation? See it as an opportunity to make God and His Word real in your life. Then run! -Dave Branon


O to grace how great a dbtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering hear to Thee. -Robinson

We fall into temptation when we don't stand against it.

Poem of the Day

Lord, the trials we face at times seem too much to bear.
We're grateful, though, for the reminders in Your Word
that You will stay by our side and help us endure
till You call us Home. Amen



2 Timonthy 2:3 - You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
