Nothing breaks trust in a marriage more than adultery. Although not an unforgivable sin, its consequences to a married couple are catastrophic to the health of their relationship. We see in Joseph’s behavior that he had no intention of committing this sin with Potiphar’s wife –even noting the husband’s kindness to him. Not only did he not even consider committing the sin, he explained himself to the woman. This must have heaped more guilt upon Potiphar’s wife. We see two people who serve two masters. Joseph knew God and made a decision in advance of this temptation to resist sin. Potiphar’s wife made a decision to tempt and did not stop even when her plan was rejected. Her plans ended in no earthly good. Sin leads to death.
Have you ever given into temptation with the knowledge it was wrong? God gives the power to resist any temptation.
Father, I know You give me the power to flee from sin.
