GOD’S FAVOR.

When God favors his beloved, he turns around their lives. They become certainly noticed and are honored. But the enemy is not happy about this; he attempts his evil schemes against them.  Yet God fights for them and ensures no harm befalls them. God assures that his will prevails.

Being sold in Egypt at a young age, Joseph worked as a slave to Potiphar. God showed him favor and Potiphar put him in charge of everything he owned. But Potiphar’s wife had an evil plan; she tried to seduce him but seeing that Joseph wouldn’t give in, she eventually designed a plot against him that landed him in prison. This could be so tormenting for Joseph knowing that the allegations against him were lies. Prison life was not easy for him either, but God made the prison wader favor him and put him in charge of everything in the prison.

God made Pharaoh Servants to dream so that Joseph’s gift could be manifested and used to interpret the dreams and later on for them to introduce him to Pharaoh. But after leaving prison they soon forgot all about Joseph. Joseph never lost his faith in God he kept being faithful even in prison. Then one night God gave Pharaoh a dream that bothered him. He called all the magicians and wise men in Egypt to interpret it but they couldn’t. God revealed the interpretation to Joseph and this got him out of prison. Because of this he was promoted to be a governor in Egypt and second in command after Pharaoh. Pharaoh gave him his signet ring and dressed him in official vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.

Because of God’s favor, Esther an orphan girl found favor with the King more than all the others and was crowned Queen.  Also due to God’s favor on her, her people the Jews are spared from Haman’s command of destruction.

Daniel in a foreign land Babylon found favor with the Kings and was made an official. Of course his journey wasn't easy; being forced to worship idol gods! But Daniel was faithful to God all through. God granted him wisdom to solve issues and also to interpret dreams and visions. Daniel served in the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, King Cyrus and King Belshazzar.
