Introduction
Have you noticed the world has a knack of putting you in impossible situations.
An impossible situation is a situation that no matter what you do it’s not going to be the right thing.
No matter what you decide your going to hurt someone.
No matter which way you turn you are offending someone.
I think about the CPS worker that has to go into a home and remove the children from their parents for negligence of some kind.
That’s an impossible situation.
Or the sniper in Afghanistan that’s been given an order to kill on site.
That’s an impossible situation.
Or the mother and father that need to show tough love to their son or daughter by forcing them to take responsibility for their life can feel like an impossible situation.
The police man that has to make a split decision to save his own life or take the life of another is an impossible situation.
Sometimes we even put ourselves in impossible situations.
Like when you know if you tithe other bills will not be paid.
You gave your word to the creditor, but you also gave your word to the Lord.
It’s an impossible situation.
Your friends are wanting you to hang with them but you don’t do that stuff anymore.
It’s an impossible situation.
Your Boss is telling you to take advantage of people when you know it not good for them.
It’s an impossible situation.
I could go on and on with different scenarios of impossible situation because they happen to us almost daily.
I’ll bet that many of you in this room are in an impossible situation in your life right now.
So what do we do in the situations of life.
How do we handle ourselves as christians when we are backed up against the wall.
I believe we can find the answers we need in the life of Joseph.
Many times in Joseph’s life we find him in impossible situations.
11 times in the scriptures the phrase “Blessed is the man” appears.
These can be summed up into three truths that will give us the answers we need.
In we pick up the story of Joseph being sold by his brothers into Egypt.
He is bought as a slave by the captain of of the guard to Pharaoh.
Let me read the first few verses of Genesis 39.
Bible Message
Gen 39:
Blessed is the Man that walks in Righteousness
Righteousness come through God’s Word.
Righteousness brings God’s blessing.
God blesses the righteous.
Ps
Righteous.
2. God blesses the righteous.
So we see it in the life of Joseph.
Ps 1:
Gen 39:
Your righteousness blesses those around you.
Gen
Joseph had his spirit in tune with God but what happens when outside forces begin to tempt you.
When you find yourself in an impossible situation let the Word of God be your guide.
Now let’s read about Joseph’s impossible situation.
Gen 39:
Blessed is the Man that Endures Trials
Blessed is the Man that Endures Trials
James 1:12
James
Your desires determine your actions.
Guard the desires of your heart.
Phil 4:
Be in control of your thoughts.
Focus your affections on Christ.
Sinful desires give birth to sin.
Joseph knew that his sin was offence against God himself.
Gen 39
Sin is an offence against God as a person.
Sin is an offence against God as a person.
Sin is an offence against God as a person.
Ps
Sin always leads to death.
When all else fails: Run!!
Better to loose your coat and keep your good name.
Gen 39
The truth will always come out in the end.
When you find yourself in an impossible situation choose God and let Him fight for you.
So what if you don’t always pass the test and the trial.
I think if we were honest, many of us might have fallen to the temptation that Joseph had.
But we must remember that Joseph is a picture of Jesus.
And Jesus was tempted in all points as we are yet he didn’t sin.
David was tempted and he fell to the temptation; a man after God’s own heart.
Jame 4
So what if you don’t always pass the test and the trial.
I think if we were honest, many of us might have fallen to the temptation that Joseph had.
But we must remember that Joseph is a picture of Jesus.
And Jesus was tempted in all points as we are yet he didn’t sin.
David was tempted and he fell to the temptation; a man after God’s own heart.
Blessed is the Man that the Lord Forgives
Blessed is the Man the Lord Forgives
Blessed is the Man the Lord Forgives
Faith in the Lord brings forgiveness of sin.
Romans 4:
Jesus is our Righteousness
Our sin was nailed to his cross.
We are found righteous in Him.
We strive to be like Joseph, but sometimes we end up like David.
When you put yourself in an impossible situation, Jesus can always get you out.
Whether your Joseph or David, Jesus in the answer for your impossible situation.
When you need protection like Joseph you run to Jesus.
The world is going to hate you no matter what.
But the Lord will forgive you if you are willing to humble yourself and ask him for forgiveness.
When you need forgiveness like David you run to Jesus.
Jesus is always the answer for your impossible situation.
David Cried out:
