He was set over all the house of Potiphar because God was with him. And so, dear friends, engaged in service or in business, you may go to your heavenly Father and ask him to guide you with his counsel, and you may rest assured that he will order all your way, so that your daily calling shall not hinder your heavenly calling, nor your conduct belie your profession. Faith bids you seek help from God as to the success of your daily calling. It is a most pleasant thing to be able by faith to consult the holy oracle about everything, whether it arises in trade, or in the family, or in the church. Faith quiets the heart in this matter by enabling us to leave results in the hand of God.
Faith acts also in reference to our surroundings .
We are all very much influenced by those about us. Faith will keep you clear of evil company, and constrain you to seek the society of the excellent of this earth, and thus it will colour your whole life. Saviour as the object of our faith is also the object of our imitation, and you know, brethren, how in all things he rested upon God. Whenever he undertook a great enterprise you find him spending a night in prayer. If then he was as much in prayer and exercised faith in the great Father, much more should you and I bring everything before God.
