The Christian man knows that he doesn’t achieve success in his own strength. He gives God all the honour for his success.  After God led the Israelites through the Red Sea on dry ground and destroyed the Egyptian army in the sea, the Israelites praised God.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord, because he has won a glorious victory;

he has thrown the horses and

their riders into the sea.

The Lord is my strong defender;

he is the one who has saved me.

He is my God, and I will praise him,

my father’s God, and I will sing

about his greatness.

The Lord is a warrior;

the Lord is his name.”

Exodus 15:1-3

He remains faithful to God’s principles. He doesn’t allow success to go to his head. When temptation comes knocking on his door, he does not waver over which course to take. He stands his ground, remaining faithful to what God expects of him.

(Potiphar) saw that the Lord was with Joseph and had made him successful in everything he did. Potiphar was pleased with him and made him his personal servant; so he put him in charge of his house and everything he owned. From then on, because of Joseph the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian and everything that he had in his house and in his fields. Potiphar handed over everything he had to the care of Joseph and did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.

Joseph was well-built and good-looking, and after a while his master’s wife began to desire Joseph and asked him to go to bed with her. He refused and said to her, “Look, my master does not have to concern himself with anything in the house, because I am here. He has put me in charge of everything he has. I have as much authority in this house as he has, and he has not kept back anything from me except you. How then could I do such an immoral thing and sin against God?” Although she asked Joseph day after day, he would not go to bed with her.   Genesis 39:3-10

Do you also know that you do not succeed because of your own strength and remain faithful to God's principles? Do you also work steadfastly at what God expects of you?

Prayer: Thank you that you are with me every day in the workplace. Through your Spirit, help me to live according to the principles of your Word and always do what you expect of me. Amen
