BUT he left his cloak (Joseph Gen 39:11-12)


 One day he(Joseph) went into the house to
attend to his duties, 
and none of the household servants was inside.  
She (the masters wife)caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!” 
But
he left his cloak in her hand
and ran out of the house.
Gen 39:11-12
Do feel trapped or tempted? Learn from Joseph's actions and RUN!

BUT... he refused (Gen 39:6-8)

Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master’s wife took notice of Joseph and said, “Come to bed with me!”
But he refused. 
“With me in charge,” he told her,
 “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; 
everything he owns he has entrusted to my care
Gen 39:6-8
Joseph is presented with one of the greatest temptation to mankind! BUT his strength came from the Lord and he was not only able to resist!! 
are you tempted by something today? remember God is bigger then it!

BUT I nearly missed it (Psalm 73:1-2)

No doubt about is! God is good, good to the good hearted.
BUT I nearly missed it. Missed seeing His goodness I was looking up to the people at the top. 
Psalms 73:1-2 MSG

Be careful to not look to the people who appear to have everything. There is nothing wrong with being successful, BUT not at the risk of not keeping God first.

BUT.. the things that come out (of our mouths) (Mark 7:15)

There is nothing from without a man,
that entering into him can defile him:
BUT… the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Mark 7:15

All I could say was WOW when I read this. It is not what we put in our bodies that make us unclean BUT it is the things that come out of our mouths that does. Verse 21 and 22 goes on  For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly. my prayer is back to yesterday’s oh Lord help me to keep my mouth shut!
