See if I were in Joseph's shoes, this is the moment when I'd be looking around going, "Does it really even matter what I do? Does it really matter if I go to bed with my master's wife? I mean, what's going happen? God might rip me away from my family and send me into a foreign land where I don't know the language and make me a slave! Oh, he's already done that! It just doesn't matter at this point.
Maybe that is you today and you find yourself asking "Does it really matter if I'm faithful to God? Does it really make any difference? Because for five years or six years in a row I've been faithful to God and what has he done for me lately? Nothing I can see. Nothing I can hear. Nothing I can sense. Nothing I can point to. Nothing that makes me feel like he's with me or active or even interested in me. Does it really matter? Could it get any worse?"
"How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against my God?" He makes the right decision. All of a sudden Potiphar's wife starts screaming, "The Hebrew, the Hebrew!" and as he runs out of the room, she grabs his coat. Now, he's running out of the house and around the street without his coat wondering, "What is happening to me? How could this be? I've done everything right."
