Genesis 39:4 (NKJV) “So Joseph found favor in his sight and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.” Favor first led to Joseph being the overseer of the house. Genesis 41:41 (NKJV) “And Pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.’” Then favor led to Joseph being overseer over the country. Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Then favor led to Joseph’s protection over those who were trying to hurt him.
When we have God’s favor, God provides, protects, and prepares all we need. Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV) “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,” It’s exciting to see how God works in those who have the favor of God, but it’s even more exciting to realize that saved people have God’s favor.
