Be a blessing!

So he left in Joseph's care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food that he ate.
This short passage comes from Genesis 39. Joseph is a servant in the house of an Egyptian official called Potiphar. In this verse we see that Joseph is put in charge of everything that Potiphar owns. Potiphar trusts Joseph completely and worries for nothing except his food. What a great trust to put on someone else. Why did Potiphar trust this Israelite slave so much? What made Joseph stand out from the rest of his servants? What made Joseph different?
The answer is simple - God. Joseph was blessed by God in everything he did, from the small things to the large things. Joseph trusted and loved God in such a way that God poured out blessings on Potiphar because Joseph worked in his household.
Are we the same in our place of work? Are we the same in the school yard? Are we the same when we go shopping? It says in this chapter, when his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favour in his eyes and became his attendant.
Joseph got a promotion because of the favour of God. I'm not saying that when we are close to God everything will be all rosy - but what I am saying is that we are blessed to be a blessing. Let's remember that today. Wherever we go or whoever we meet - we are blessed to be a blessing. We are privileged! We are saved! We know the truth! We know the creator of the universe! Let's show others how privileged we are and share the blessing that we have.
