WHAT BEAUTY ATTRACTS
So he left all that he had in
Joseph's charge; and having him he had no concern for anything but the food
which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and good-looking. ¶ And after a time his
master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and said, "Lie with me."
(RSV) Genesis 39:6-7
In my neighborhood as a child, our neighbor had a dog that gave birth to some very beautiful puppies. All the
children in that locality were told not to be touching or carrying these
puppies because this owner believes when you touch and carry the puppies so
much that they will grow lean and look unhealthy. We all obliged but not
totally, there was this particular puppy that looks so lovely and attractive.
We will secretly touch and carry it while playing with it. One day I was
severely punished by the owner of this dog for catching me playing with it
despite all the injunctions not to touch and carry it. Why did I after every
warning not to touch carry this puppy even when I knew the risk involved went
ahead to carry and touch it? Well, it’s because it was a beautiful puppy and i
was unconsciously attracted to it.
Beautiful things attract touches
which might sometimes prove fatal.
Potiphar’s wife was tempted to touch
Joseph because he was good looking. Good looking people get people coming
around to touch them. Please don’t dance around any ungodly attractions, flee
from it. Most people that comes around beautiful people only came to flirt
(touch and fondle) and go. Don’t let people come and be touching you anyhow,
never be a loose person (a person everybody can come and touch and flirt and
go), always remember you were bought by Christ so you are not free for any
except for your spouse when you get married. The God that bought you by His
blood reserved you only for your spouse.
God bless you.
