Praise the Lord and Good Evening,
When God is blessing you there is nothing anyone can do to change it.........God was blessing Joseph at every phase of his transformation from dreamer to deliverer of a nation......Joseph was favored....even in the worst seasons of his life, he was favored and it showed up!
Favor travels with you.....no matter where Joseph went, the favor of God traveled with him. Life can take you to some rough places....the location isn't always favorable but that doesn't hinder God's favor from showing up there! Actually, it is in those rough places where you need favor too! The Israelites were favored but chose to ignore it because they looked at their circumstances and said to themselves, this is an unfavorable situation and we're going to get clobbered......the enemy talked them out of their favor....and left them helpless.....
What a blessing it is to realize you are favored by God and that favor will be exhibited regardless of where you are led....it was God's favor on Joseph's life that put him in transitional places....he had to be transitioned from his brothers to Potipher's house....favor gave him a season of refreshing and recouping, but he couldn't be settled at Potipher's....and transition came into play again....and favor once again appeared upon Joseph's life at one of the lowest points in his life........don't you just hate it when the Lord won't get you out....but you're equally as thankful that you know He hasn't forgotten you because of the favor even there.....and again the vehicle of his gift brought him to a palace where favor was unleashed in such a way that it proved to be life-changing.....and only then did it all make sense.....
God knows you are tired of being in rough places.....and you might not understand the depths of God's favor on your life....but don't allow location, discussion, antagonism, indifference, people, lack of understanding (on your part or anyone else's) to talk you out of what God has put on you...His favor....it will travel with you.
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. (Psalm 5:12 KJV)
