Ever wonder how Potiphar’s wife felt when she learned that Joseph had been put in charge of all Egypt by Pharaoh?

A couple of takeaways. Regardless of your position, your power or your prestige, be kind and respectful to the person standing in front of you, serving you, working for you, needing you. God has a magnificent plan for their lives that very well might directly impact your life. Jeremiah 29:11-14

Secondly, when you are entrusted by God to do anything in His name, great or small, leave the vengeance and desire to get even to Him. We’re not good at meting out justice because of the log sticking out of our own eye. Romans 12:17-20

Joseph sat in the prison a full 2 years after he told the baker and the wine taster’s dreams. While in prison, the jailer entrusted the oversight of the jail to Joseph, a prisoner. When Jeremiah prophesied verse 29:11 to the Jews, the plans were 70 years out. He told them to build houses and settle in and make a life in Babylon until God’s timing was met.

God is telling us to have impact through the way we live our lives now, in our current situation, regardless of what we dream or desire. His plans are our perfect plans and our pursuit of His plans play out best when we live daily lives committed to seeking righteousness through our actions and our hearts.
