Genesis 47:~Provision in a Foreign Land: God’s Favor in Egypt

“When God Leads, He Provides”

To recognize God's providence and sovereignty in sustaining

 His people even in unfamiliar or difficult environments.

  • Provider – God ensures that Jacob’s family is sustained in Egypt.

  • Faithful – He keeps His covenant to protect and preserve His people.

  • Sovereign – He orchestrates events, even in foreign lands, for the good of His people.

Facts:

  • Joseph presents his family to Pharaoh, who grants them land in Goshen.

  • Jacob blesses Pharaoh and lives in Egypt for 17 years.

  • The famine continues, and Joseph manages Egypt’s resources wisely.

  • The Israelites settle, grow in number, and prosper in Egypt.

Insights:

Application:

  • Be faithful and wise like Joseph in whatever position God places you.

  • Speak blessings over others, even those outside your faith circle, as Jacob did to Pharaoh.

Deed:
Bless someone today with your words or actions. Look for an opportunity to extend God's favor to others—whether through encouragement, prayer, or generosity.

Prayer:
Lord, You are my Provider. Thank You for sustaining me in every season and place. Help me to trust You fully, to be a faithful steward like Joseph, and to bless others with the peace and hope You’ve given me. Amen.
