God was with Joseph and blessed him.


God was with Joseph and blessed him.

Acts 7:9(When Joseph was sold, God was with him)
            “Because the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. But God was with him

Gen 39:2, 21, 23
            The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
            21 The Lord was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. 
             23 The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.

Hag 2:4
            But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the Lord. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.

Luke 1:66
            66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, “What then is this child going to be?” For the Lord’s hand was with him.
