God With Us!
"And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house." - Acts 7:9-10
Joseph was strip naked, he had nothing, empty and was sold as a slave. But God was with him and the bible says he was prosperous, even being sold as a slave, because God was with him.
God's unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus' merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited.
Believe with full confidence that God has a better way for you. That was how Joseph operated. He depended on The Lord for his success. Joseph knew that every blessing he had experienced was a result of the Lord's favor on him.
"for he hath said, I will never (never, certainly not) leave thee, nor forsake thee." Hebrews 15:3
