1. Acknowledge God’s Presence in Your Life
   • Genesis 39:21: But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
   • Matthew 28:20: Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.
2. God is present in every moment of our lives, just as He was with Joseph during his most difficult times. His promise to be with us until the end of the world assures us that we are not alone. Recognizing God’s presence strengthens us and gives us peace in any circumstance. He walks beside us, even when we cannot see Him clearly.
3. Trust in God’s Plan for You
   • Genesis 45:5-8: But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
   • Isaiah 26:3: You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
4. God has a perfect plan for each of us, even though we may not immediately understand His purpose. The story of Joseph teaches us that, even in the midst of adversity, God is working for our good and the fulfillment of His promises. By trusting in God’s plan, we find peace and security, knowing that He is in control of all things.
5. Be Faithful to God with Your Actions
   • 1 Samuel 12:24: Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.
   • Psalm 37:3: Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
6. Our faithfulness to God is reflected in our daily actions. By fearing and serving God with all our hearts, we demonstrate our love and gratitude for the great things He has done in our lives. Psalm 37:3 exhorts us to trust in God and do good, ensuring that we live a life that honors His name and brings blessings to others.

God is in favor of His people, and we can be certain of His presence, trust in His plans, and live faithfully for Him. Acknowledging God in our lives, fully trusting in His plan, and being faithful in our actions are the pillars that guide us in our daily walk with Him. By following these truths, we will experience His favor and blessing in every aspect of our lives, and we will live in the peace and security that only He can provide. May this devotional inspire us to walk according to His will, always trusting that God is in our favor.
