S – Jacob said to Pharaoh, “My pilgrimage has lasted 130 years. My years have been few and hard, and they have not reached the years of my ancestors during their pilgrimages.” ¹⁰ So Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from Pharaoh’s presence. 

Genesis 47:9–10 CSB

O – The Lord blessed Pharaoh because Pharaoh was blessing Abraham’s descendants (12:3). Through Joseph’s wise administration in Egypt, the Lord saved the people from starvation and prospered Pharaoh. In selling food to the Egyptians during the years of famine, Joseph accepted money, livestock, and finally land as payment, until almost all of Egypt belonged to Pharaoh. Meanwhile, God provided Israel with some of the best land in Egypt where they could live, work, and multiply.

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – It is possible for God to bless believers through blessing someone else.  For example, I was raised by two Godly parents.  I was blessed to live in their home, benefit from their provision and enjoy the Godly wisdom and relationship. We need to recognize the blessings of others and how they impact our lives and be grateful.

R – Heavenly Father, you are “I Am.”  Thank you for all the people you allow in my life and how you bless me through them.  Help me to be a blessing to others as well.  Allow them to experience a rich relationship with you as I serve as a catalyst in that relationship.
