Keep My Hands Clean

July 9, 2023 • Courtney Harkness • Genesis 39:2–5

We all face trials. But the difficult seasons of our life can also be a breeding ground for another challenge: *temptation.*


In such times, the problems around us seem to offer a reasonable excuse for compromise.


We are susceptible — especially when we are motivated by hurt, pride, entitlement, discouragement, or sometimes, just plain old fatigue. Either way, our weakest moments provide prime opportunities to make the biggest mistakes.


Joseph’s story is an encouraging example, considering the unfortunate circumstances in which he finds himself. When his faith is tested the most, he finds some way to maintain his integrity, and to Keep His Hands Clean.
