I was always thought
beauty was in the
eyes of the beholder.
People’s view of
beauty differ greatly. This is a very
subjective topic.
I judge a person’s inner
beauty by their behavior and character.
In the Bible book 1
Samuel the Lord tells Samuel how to select a replacement
for King Saul.He was told to look at the man’s heart,
not his outward appearance.
LIFE LESSON:
JOSEPH & PHARAOH
GENESIS 39:2-4, 7-10,16-21, 39-41
2 The
Lord was with Joseph, and he was a
successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And
his master saw that the Lord was
with him and that the Lord made
all he did to prosper in his hand.
4 So
Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of
his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. Now Joseph was
handsome in form and appearance.
7 And it came to
pass after these things that his master’s wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and
she said, “Lie with me.”
8 But he refused
and said to his master’s wife, “Look, my master does not know what is
with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
9 There is no one greater
in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because
you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin
against God?”
10 So
it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie
with her or to be with her.
16 So she kept his
garment with her until his master came home.
17 Then she spoke
to him with words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to
us came in to me to mock me;
18 so it happened,
as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled
outside.”
19 So
it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your
servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused.
20 Then
Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s
prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
21 But
the Lord was with Joseph and showed
him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison
39 Then Pharaoh
said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one
as discerning and wise as you.
40 You shall be
over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in
regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 And Pharaoh said
to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
