“She 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.”
Genesis 39:12 (NIV)
If Joseph lived in 2018 in North America, he could have been part of the #metoo movement. It is amazing how human nature stays the same throughout the ages. We pretend that we are so much more advanced then our “primitive” ancestors - NO not at all – for we discover in this account of a time in Egypt 3,300 years ago that their society had the same issue, though in this case it was a woman of power over a male servant, who did not receive justice but was severely punished for resisting her advances.
He ran, he didn’t stay and reason, he ran.
Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to FLEE from sexual immorality.
Don’t hang around, don’t reason, don’t try to argue, don’t rationalize - just run.
The movie Forest Gump has “Run Forest Run” as a theme throughout the entire movie.
Following this advice saves him and saves others.
God is calling to us - Run _________ Run!
It is the only way to escape sexual immorality.
