Episode 288 - Faithful with Influence

Pharaoh placed Joseph over the land of Egypt, dressed him in royal clothing, and gave him authority second only to his own. Joseph’s circumstances changed dramatically, but his character did not.Genesis 41:41 says, “See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.”Success can test our faithfulness just as surely as suffering. In hardship, we are tempted to doubt God; in success, we are tempted to forget Him. Joseph used his position to serve others and prepare Egypt for the famine ahead.Whatever influence God gives you—in your home, workplace, church, or community—is not merely a privilege. It is a responsibility.Do not use influence to draw attention to yourself. Use it to help others and honor the Lord. Whether God places you in a prison or a palace, remain faithful to Him.
