🔥 《The Robe Left Behind, The Integrity Held Fast》

A Literary Devotional Narrative in English

The house was quiet.
Empty.
Except for Joseph,
and her.

Potiphar's wife—
bold, relentless.
Eyes like nets,
words like silk.

“Lie with me.” (Genesis 39:7)

It wasn’t just a moment.
It was daily.
Pressure building.
Solitude tempting.
No witnesses.
No escape.
No applause for saying no.

But he remembered—

“How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” (v.9)

So he ran.
Not to survive,
but to remain whole.

She grasped his robe—
but couldn’t touch his soul.

The robe was left behind,
but not his righteousness.

And for that,
he was thrown into prison.

Not for failing,
but for staying faithful.

Because sometimes integrity
costs more than compromise.

God sees the integrity others overlook.
→ Where in my life do I need to choose obedience over reputation?
Running away isn’t cowardice when fleeing sin.
→ What temptations do I need to distance myself from immediately?
False accusations don’t erase true righteousness.
→ How can I rest in God’s approval when others misjudge me?
