Influence and favor even in the midst of suffering

"God wants to grant his covenant people influence and favor even in the midst of suffering." Shawn Bolz

There is a price to be paid for influence, favor, and leadership. Look at the example of Joseph; he kept his heart right before God no matter the circumstances. Despite difficult situations, this intentional alignment with the Kingdom of Heaven allowed Joseph to come into favor no matter his environment.

Samuel, Joseph, Jesus all set the example: you must grow in favor with God first and humanity second.
