How can you show a similar resolve to that of Joseph? You can decide now what you will do if a temptation arises. Learn to say no immediately to things that Jehovah hates, even refusing to dwell on them. (Psalm 97:10; 119:65) That way you will not waver when tempted. You will already know how you will respond. You will already have settled on your course.
In your case, you may know that you have found the truth and that you want to serve Jehovah with all your heart, but something still holds you back from dedication and baptism. You can take to heart the example of King David. You can beg Jehovah: "Search through me, O God, and know my heart. Examine me and know my anxious thoughts. See whether there is in me any harmful way and lead me in the way of eternity." (Psalm 139:23, 24) Jehovah blesses those who are "earnestly seeking him." You're working toward your goal of dedication and baptism shows him you are doing just that. - Read HEBREWS 11:6.
