Favor Does What Effort Can’t

There’s nothing wrong with education or connection.
But neither can guarantee the doors God alone can open.
Joseph had no résumé.
No credentials.
No network.
Yet Scripture says:
Genesis 39:3
Prosperity didn’t come from strategy.
It came from presence.
Favor isn’t a shortcut.
It’s God’s hand making room for you in places your natural path could never reach.
You can plan, learn, and work faithfully —
but remember this:
your advantage isn’t who you know,
but Whose favor rests upon you.
