—Genesis 45:16-20
by: Linda Harris.
Pharaoh’s favor to Joseph extended to Jacob’s whole family. Pharaoh went beyond inviting the family to Egypt; he made provisions for their move and gave them the best land to raise their livestock.
When we find favor in God’s eyes, it’s not because we’re wonderful people in our own right. Instead, the righteousness of Christ becomes ours as we make him our Lord and Savior. The favor of God extends to us because we are Christ’s family.
