Joseph’s decision, words and actions were godly responses to the adulterous wife of his master.  (Genesis 39:7-12)

How did this woman respond?  She lied and falsely accused Joseph after his refusal of her unwanted advances.

(NASB) Genesis 39:12-18 “She caught him by his garment, saying, ‘Lie with me!’  And he left his garment (cloak) in her hand and fled, and went outside.
13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
14 she called to the men of her household and said to them, ‘See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.
15 ‘When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.’
16 So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.
17 Then she spoke to him with these words, ‘The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;
18 and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.’”

Joseph’s godly responses were rejected by his master’s wife.  She lied and accused him falsely.

Perhaps you have experienced the same kind of treatment from another.  Joseph’s faith in God did not change.  He continued to trust God, although he didn’t always understand why God allowed the circumstances.  He was put into prison – because of the lies and false accusation of an ungodly woman.

No matter the circumstances – remember:
(NASB) Deuteronomy 31:8 “The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you.  He will not fail you or forsake you.  Do not fear or be dismayed.”
