“Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside. She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.” – Genesis 39:11‭-‬12 NASB1995

Joseph was tempted by Potiphar’s wife daily to betray his master and sin against God. Joseph tried to avoid the temptation by staying away, but she persisted to the point of grabbing him by his clothes. Joseph knew the only way to resist was to literally turn the other way and run.

No matter what temptation we may encounter, use the example of Joseph and run away from it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For a couple years now, God has been trying to teach me to slow down and be with Him, and learn how to listen to His voice. When I resigned from my position, I thought I would be able to slow and be better at hearing God, but I found I wrestled more with restlessness than while I was working.

I have been disappointed in this season of restlessness: I have not been able to still my soul, to listen for very long –  only in moments – and understand this season of my life.

Meditating on Psalm 23 has been very helpful, as well as using the Pause App from Wild at Heart. But my prayer, even as I prepare to be away on vacation, is found in Matthew 11:28-30, particularly in the Message translation.

Matt 11:28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (The Message)

Matthew 18:15-17

15  “If your brother sins against you,  go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have  gained your brother. 16But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

We live in an increasingly non-Christian world. Often, we assume that the people we meet each day share a common understanding of what is right and wrong, but the apparent shift is away from this.

Jesus in this passage, seems to me to be speaking into this situation. I expect my brother share my understanding of sin, but sometimes he won’t listen, no matter who gets involved. In this case, Jesus tells us to “let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”

It is easy to read this as permission to cut off my brother, to put him outside, and on some level that may be partly true. But I think it is important to remember as we read this passage, exactly how Jesus treated the Gentile and the tax collector. He was so willing to engage with them in speaking truth that his fellow Jews were offended and disgusted.
