Application:
When I started my first job, I met a lady who took an instant dislike for me. Over the ensuing years, I let my light shine and God do the talking. Soon, the lady’s entire attitude towards me changed. To this day, I am one of her favoured persons.
When God is on your side, even your enemies (who fear and have enslaved you) will extend favour to you, if God preordains it. Moses was the hand through which God delivered judgement upon the Egyptians yet he was still respected at all levels. That’s what God’s favour looks like. It triggers favour towards you even in the sight of your enemies.
