This is the day.

Genesis 39: 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

Purity is something that has decreased at an alarming rate in the day in which we live! Just about everyone in our schools laughs at the idea of purity, and abstinence until marriage. The leaders of our land scoff and jeer at the idea that a "littl affair" is not an "ok" thing. The general public mocks and sneers and jests about impurity telling their 'dirty jokes' in the presence of anyone who will listen. However, God is not pleased with impurity, and He WILL have the final word about it. Joseph is one of the great examples in the Bible of purity, and it would do us all good to get the attitude of Joseph "it ain't gonna happen" (excuse the grammar).

Paths to purity.
1. Fear God. (a fear of consequences may not be all that's needed but it helps)
2. Follow God. (following His footsteps leads in the way of holiness)
3. Fellowship with God. (learning the sweetness of God helps to dispell the "need" for lust and sinfull thoughts)
4. Firmly say "no" (a harsh, affirmative answer goes a long way in quelling many lustful situations)
5. Find somewhere else to be (this could be a strike against Joseph, he was there, seemingly alone, with a woman who had consistenly been alluring him)
6. Flee youtful lusts (sometimes this is the only course of action, get out as fast as you can)
