Acts 7:10

and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

1. A study of the "khsed" of God is important. God is our "big brother", our "bodyguard", our "protector." The Hebrew word "khsed" (pronounced ha said) is most often translated "loving kindness." It describes how God watches, protects and provides for His children.

2. We often pray "guard, guide and direct us." God does. He shows His loving kindness, care, protection, and provider.

3. God watched over Joseph. He gave him the tools (wisdom and favor) to rise in the ranks in Egypt. He was appointed governor over Egypt.
