Charles Stanley Daily Devotional 24 June 2026 (In Touch) Wednesday Message
Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: God Is With Us Always
SCRIPTURE: Genesis 41:14-44
The Bible is relevant for every situation. Although the details of our circumstances are often very different from those of the men and women in Scripture, God’s Word still applies.
Let’s continue to look at Joseph. When Potiphar’s wife attempted to seduce Joseph, he refused, saying he would not sin against God (Genesis 39:9). The young man’s faith was strong, which helped him place loyalty to the Lord above all.
Second, the Lord’s presence meant that Joseph prospered right where he was—as a slave and a prisoner. Those in charge recognized that God’s favor was upon Joseph. So they gave him great responsibility and authority (Genesis 39:3-4; Genesis 39:21-22).
Third, during times of suffering, Joseph gained invaluable lessons that prepared him for the future. He learned the details of Egyptian culture, ways to handle responsibility, and the importance of keeping God first. An additional blessing was the opportunity to be a witness to the Lord’s power (41:16).
By relying on the Lord as Joseph did, our faith will grow strong. When we give God His rightful place as Lord over our life, His presence will strengthen us to resist temptation. Then we too will be equipped to do kingdom work and ready to proclaim His greatness to those around us.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Psalms 71-75
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: In suffering, rely on the Lord for the strength to overcome.
