Islamist militants continue their barbarous rampaging in the Middle East and across North Africa, targeting individuals, including Christians, for torture or worse. They seem to get perverse satisfaction from posting their brutality on social media for the world to see. As for the Christians, they could have paid a high tax to the terrorists or converted to Islam to save their lives – but they chose not to compromise.

Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?

Genesis 41:38

Joseph was an uncompromising man. He was God’s man in slavery, in prosperity, and in the palace of the king. Even in prison, Joseph was God’s man. Through everything he trusted the Lord and Him alone. He prayed…and he knew God listened.

It’s easy to show you possess the Spirit of God within, but openly confessing your faith is a bit more difficult. Are you praying for yourself and others in your circle to have uncompromising and bold Joseph-like faith when the days grow more troubling? Add to your intercessions members of Congress and America’s courts to know Jesus Christ and His Father and find no-compromise courage to stand for God.
