Distractions: Refusing to Settle for Less than God’s Best
Reflect
Joseph’s situation improved as he faithfully worked in Potiphar’s household. Suddenly, he was given a position of power and influence. Do you think he might’ve wondered if this was the fulfillment of the dream God had given him?
The Lord was with Joseph during this time. Things were going really well! But He wasn’t done weaving together Joseph’s story. Moments like these can tempt us toward a complacent mindset. It’s important to listen for God’s voice even in calm and prosperous seasons. We honor Him by refusing to settle for less than what He’s promised. The path you’re considering may not be bad, but is it best? Periods of success and renewal are opportunities to build up resistance against the devil’s schemes.

1. What are God’s promises?
2. How has God been faithful in your life?
3. What can you do to make sure you don’t become complacent?
