"Convenient Sex"

Genesis 39:6-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) 6 He left all that he owned under Joseph’s authority;[a] he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome. 7 After some time[b] his master’s wife looked longingly at Joseph and said, “Sleep with me.” 8 But he refused. “Look,” he said to his master’s wife, “with me here my master does not concern himself with anything in his house, and he has put all that he owns under my authority.[c] 9 No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such a great evil and sin against God?” 10 Although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused[d] to go to bed with her.[e] 11 Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.[f] 12 She grabbed him by his garment and said, “Sleep with me!” But leaving his garment in her hand, he escaped and ran outside. Many men fall because of "convenient sex". It's not that they went out looking for it- it pursued them. People love convenience, but everything convenient isn't good for you. I was just sharing this with my 13 year old son yesterday. I asked him how was it that Joseph(in the bible) being a handsome man, and with all the family rejection he had been through, literally had "convenient sex" thrown to him and he still said NO! The answer is he had something different inside him-integrity! I told my son integrity is like the steal box at the airport that says if your carry on doesn't "fit" you can't take it- it's a standard.

Joseph said your not my wife, so therefore having sex with you doesn't "fit"my lifestyle. Wow, integrity of steal that will not bend! I told my son I'm man enough to run from sex just like Joseph did. #higherstandards #standardsofsteal
