Genesis 41-42; Matthew 12:1-23
As our family has read the story of Joseph it has occurred to me that God didn't just magically change Joseph's position. It came through excellence and the wisdom God gave him to interpret dreams. The excellence came from hard work on Joseph's part. The favor probably came in all actually mostly from the excellent work ethic of Joseph. The divine part, however, was Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. Both the works of Joseph and the faith of Joseph got him promoted.
What works have you displayed in order to receive favor in your life? Faith without works is dead. If Joseph had been a lousy worker, no one would have paid attention to his dreams.
