37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials. 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. 40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” - Genesis 45:37-40 (NIV

Joseph started out the day in prison. That very morning started for Joseph behind bars. He began his day with prison as his abode
.That wasn't how his day ended.
At some point during the day, someone summoned Joseph. A message was passed down the chain of command that Pharaoh
wanted to see Joseph. The jailers and guards had get the prisoner and send him under armed guard to the palace to meet with the king of Egypt
.
wanted to see Joseph. The jailers and guards had get the prisoner and send him under armed guard to the palace to meet with the king of Egypt. 
Imagine the rumors
and buzz
that went throughout the prison cells that day. Think of the curious
looks that must have come across numerous faces as the message was read to those who guarded Joseph
that Pharaoh wanted to see the young man at once.
Picture the change in atmosphere as Joseph walked up from the depths of the dark dungeons to the corridors that lead to the awaiting king
. Imagine what must have gone through his mind as he took a step into the presence of the most powerful man in the world, the ruler of Egypt
.
Think of how much God can intervene on your behalf. He can open doors
in an instant
. He can work in your favor
without you having to lift a single finger. For those who subscribe to Murphy's Law
, believing that if it can go wrong that it will go wrong
, you have to see that God has a law higher than Murphy's Law. If you believe in karma
, you truly have to see that God has grace and favor for the obedient and faithful. Karma
doesn't do what God's unmerited favor 
is capable of doing in your lives.
When you look at Joseph's life, you see favor from God on display before men. That's the difference God can make in our lives daily.
