Joseph's journey, although seemingly simple on the surface, demonstrates a powerful truth about God and when you walk steadfast with Him.
"The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did..."- Genesis 39:2
"The Lord began to bless Potiphar's household for Joseph's sake..." - Genesis 39:5
"The Lord was with Joseph in the prison...and the Lord made Jospeh a favorite with the prison warden..." - Genesis 39:21
"The Lord was with [Joseph] and caused everything he did to succeed..." -Genesis 39:23
When you have a personal relationship with God, He will cause you, much like Joseph, to prosper in everything you set yourself to do. From Joseph's story we can now see for ourselves that God has the ability to bless you so much so that those who don't even know Him will take notice. They'll see supernatural things happening in your life and while they may not necessarily know that it is the Lord's doing, they'll certainly see for themselves that there is something different about you.
Understand that like Joseph, God has the ability to impress upon the heart of those who are in authority, and those who aren't even supposed to like you, to want to show you unprecedented favor. Their heart will turn toward you, and they won't understand why they feel so moved to help you or to do things for you. However, you and I both know that the favor and opportunities for prosperity will all stem from the fact that God is with you.
Because of the potency of God's power, He can cause even the people who He connects you with to experience blessings and prosperity right along with you...and it's all because you're in their space...but ultimately, IT'S ALL FOR YOUR SAKE!
God will sometimes allow or orchestrate seemingly negative situations (and I say "seemingly" because what we may see as a mess-up, God is viewing as a set-upto bless you)to come to pass in your life all so He can demonstrate His greatness and show you more divine favor.
Remember that with everything going on in your life, the seemingly negative, and the positive, God has his hands in all of it. Know that much like Joseph, when God is with you, everything you do, everywhere you go, and whomever you come in contact with, will experience divine prosperity...AND IT'S ALL FOR YOUR SAKE!
