K N O W Genesis 39 : 10 (Temptation)

Although the Old Testament doesn’t mention it, Joseph is in line for the crown of life, a reward promised for believers who have resisted temptation and have persevered under trial (James 1:12). It doesn’t seem fair that people have to suffer through life with a handicap or a difficulty. But God says to them, “I have a special crown for you who have endured this. I have a special crown for you who are hurting. I have a special crown for you who have resisted temptation.” While many of your friends caved in to temptation and said to you, “You are missing out on all of the fun,” you said, “Well, I am just going to be faithful to the Lord. I am not going to join you.” So when you get to heaven, you can sing for joy, because you will have a crown to show for your faithfulness. For more about Temptation, see Exod. 23:8.
