Episode 279 - Doing Right Can Still Cost

Joseph fled from temptation, but Potiphar’s wife used the garment he left behind to accuse him falsely. Potiphar believed her story, and Joseph was sent to prison.Joseph did what was right—and still suffered for it.Sometimes we assume obedience will immediately make life easier. Yet doing right may cost us a friendship, an opportunity, or the approval of others. First Peter says, “if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.”Joseph lost his position, but he kept his integrity. People may misunderstand your choices, and faithfulness may carry a temporary price, but you will never regret honoring God.Do not measure a decision by what it costs you today. Measure it by whether it pleases the Lord. Even when doing right costs you, remain faithful.
