The Heart Condition
Living Scripture
Genesis 45:3-5,7-8 KJV
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence. [4] And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. [5] Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. [7] And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. [8] So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
The heart of Joseph was pure and filled with peace. He kept himself away from sin and reserved for the Lord's use. He feared the Lord with his life and walked in uprightness from his father's house to Potiphar's, then the prison and up to the palace. Though his brothers envied him and did all manner of evil and wickedness against him. They threw him into a pit with murderous intentions but later sold him out to human traders as a slave.
Despite all these harsh conditions, betrayals and actions Joseph faced, he never lost his mind or harbored bitterness and unforgiveness against his brethren, Mr & Mrs Potiphar or the king servants. His heart condition made him open to the school of the Spirit right there in those circumstances and situations of life that he faced. He learnt Godly wisdom which came out while he was speaking with Pharaoh and interpreting the dreams and he found favor.
The condition of our hearts matters a lot in our relationship with God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit and also with our fellow neighbors. We must take care of our hearts at all times by learning to let go of hurts, pains and offences by forgiving and making peace. Christ Jesus lived such a life and refused to stain His heart with the things of this world and when the prince of this world came he found nothing of his with Christ. There's victory in obeying the word and voice of God.
