Favour doesn’t always look like advantage at first

Favour in the Bible often comes wrapped in situations that look the opposite:

Joseph was favoured, but sold into slavery
David was anointed, but hunted
Daniel had favour, but thrown into a den of lions

Favour is not about immediate comfort; it’s about God’s hand shaping outcomes over time.

“Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as with a shield.” Psalms 5:12
