Witnessing Without a Word

He knew there was something different about the young man. Every task he gave him was done with integrity. It seemed all he touched was successful. This man was different from all his other servants.

Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand (Genesis 39:3, NASB).

Potiphar’s hunch had been right. When he bought Joseph from the Ishmalites he could sense he would be an asset to his household. Now he knew he could trust him with all things.

So he left everything he owned in Joseph’s charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate (39:6).

Joseph’s witness to Potiphar and his household was simply him remaining faithful to God. His trust in God, even in dire circumstances, was his witness. We too can witness to others about Jesus just with our life choices and our attitude toward our circumstances in life. We can be a blessing to others by staying true to God.

It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD’S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field (39:5).

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. – Matthew 5:16
