The Bride Of Messiah & Potiphar's Wife

Sunday, May 31, 2020

Joseph was taken to Egypt and into Potiphar's house. Potiphar's wife lusted after Joseph. But she had no real idea who Joseph was or had any notion of his heart. She only wanted to use him. Joseph fled her advances and she was left holding nothing but his clothes. The Church is called to be the Bride of Messiah. But much of the Church has become more like Potiphar's wife. It wants the blessings of God, His comfort, His prosperity - but without really knowing Him or seeking to share His heart. So it ends up, like Potiphar's wife, left just with the clothing of Messiah, the empty outward trappings of religion - while Messiah, Himself, has long fled away. Your walk with God is not primarily about the feelings, the benefits, the prosperity, or success it gives you. More than all of that, it's about Him. Set your heart to truly seek Him, to truly know Him - more than you ever have before, to know His heart, to share His heart, and to love Him. For the Lord called you to be the Bride of Messiah... and not Potiphar's wife.
