ENVY, FAVOR AND WISDOM
The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything … (Genesis 39: 2 NLT)
In the Bible we see the story of Joseph, who despite all the circumstances he faced, always maintained himself in the fear of God and believed in His promises; So, he always obtained the blessing of God.
What produces the blessing of God in our lives?
1.- You wake up envy in many people when God blesses you.
These patriarchs were jealous of their brother Joseph, and they sold him to be a slave in Egypt. But God was with him (Acts 7: 9 NLT)
2.- When you have the blessing of God, He rescues you from your troubles and gives you favor, because of doing His will.
… and rescued him from all his troubles. And God gave him favor before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. (Acts 7: 10 NLT)
3.- When God is with you, you obtain of His wisdom and He gives you influence.
God also gave Joseph unusual wisdom, so that Pharaoh appointed him governor over all of Egypt and put him in charge of the palace. (Acts 7:10 NLT)
The LORD was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything … (Genesis 39: 2 NLT)
Think about it:
Do you have the blessing of God or do you need it?
What do you need to do so that God is with you as He was with Joseph?
How has God blessed you?
