Episode 273 - Doing Right When Others Do Wrong

Joseph’s brothers hated him, but when his father asked him to check on them, Joseph did not refuse. In Genesis 37:13, his father said, “Come, and I will send thee unto them.” Joseph answered, “Here am I.”Joseph obeyed even though the assignment took him toward people who had treated him poorly. Their wrong behavior did not become an excuse for him to do wrong.It is easy to let someone else’s attitude determine our own. If they are unkind, we become unkind. If they neglect their responsibility, we neglect ours. But faithfulness means doing what is right because it is right—not merely because others deserve it.Remember, You are responsible for your choices, not theirs. Do not allow someone else’s bad behavior to change your character. Even when others do wrong, remain faithful and choose to do right.
