Pembacaan Alkitab: Kejadian 39-40
Yusuf masih sangat muda ketika ia dijual kepada orang Ismael dan dibeli oleh Potifar. Walaupun demikian, Yusuf tetap setia kepada Tuhan dan Tuhan menyertainya ke manapun dan apapun yang dikerjakannya. Segala yang diperbuatnya berhasil dan ia dipercayai oleh Potifar dan juga oleh kepala penjara, ketika ia dipenjara. Inilah berkat Abraham, Ishak dan Yakub dan yang turun kepada Yusuf ini. Walaupun ia berada di tempat orang asing, dan bahkan sebagai budak belian, ia tetap menjadi berkat di manapun ia berada. Dan ia menjadi kesaksian bagi orang-orang di sekitarnya bahwa Tuhan itu maha kuasa. Begitu jugalah seharusnya kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Di manapun Tuhan tempatkan kita, apapun yang kita kerjakan, bila Tuhan menyertai kita, maka semuanya itu pasti berhasil dan ada anugrah Tuhan di atas kita sehingga orang-orang dapat mempercayakan kepada kita tanggung jawab yang besar karena ada kuasa Tuhan dipihak kita. Bila kita belum mengalami apa yang Abraham, Ishak, Yakub dan Yusuf alami, biarlah kita terus hidup setia dan taat kepada Tuhan, bersekutu erat dengan-Nya dan bersandar kepada kuasa Tuhan dan bukan kekuatan kita sendiri. Percayalah bahwa kuasa hikmat Tuhan ada dengan kita dan Ia akan membuat kita berhasil. Terimalah janji Tuhan, percaya, katakan dan hiduplah sesuai dengan janji dan Firman-Nya.

Bible Reading: Genesis 39-40
Joseph was still young when he was sold to an Ishmaelites and then bought by Potiphar. Even so, Joseph stayed faithful to the Lord and the Lord was with him where ever he goes and what ever he does. All that he did was successful and he was trusted by Potiphar and also by the keeper of the prison, when he was in prison. This is the blessing of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob which passed down to Joseph. Even though he was in a foreign land and lived as a slave, he still became a blessing where ever he goes. And he became a testimony to those around him that the Lord is almighty. This is how our everyday lives should be. Where ever the Lord placed us, what ever we do, if the Lord is with us, then everything will be successful and there is a favour of God upon us such that people will trusts us and entrust us with greater responsibilities, because the power of God is with us. If we have not yet experience what Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph experienced, let us keep on living a faithful and obedient life before the Lord, building an intimate relationship with the Lord and rely on His power and not on our own. Believe that His power and wisdom is with us and that He will make us successful. Receive the promises of God, believe, speak of it and live according to the promise and Word of God.
