Good morning highly favored of God!
As we continue to learn more about the nature of God, we can expect to experience His goodness and presence in our lives to a greater degree. When He releases HIS FAVOR upon us, we’ll begin to see unheard of, unprecedented manifestations all around us.
Family, God wants to show us HIS FAVOR in every area of our lives. John 1:15-17 declares that John bore witness of Jesus, saying that He Who came after him existed before him. Out of Jesus’ abundance of grace and truth, we have received grace upon grace and FAVOR upon FAVOR. It was the Person of Jesus Christ Whom God sent to show FAVOR to us.
When we’re careful not to forget any of God’s commandments, we will have peace, long life, and find FAVOR with God and man. Proverbs 3:1-5 exhorts us to trust God and not to lean on our own understanding.
The more time we spend in the Word of God and the more we meditate on it, the more FAVOR we will see!
Because of GOD’S FAVOR, our marriages, our families, and everything else that is important to us will stand strong. Psalm 30:7 says that God has made our mountain to stand strong by HIS FAVOR.
See, when our ways please God, the Scripture tells us in Proverbs 16:7 that He makes even our enemies to be at peace with us. When we’re born again and we establish a relationship with God, He’s pleased with us. The Lord wants to bring everyone into a relationship with Himself.
Jesus is the perfect example of GOD’S FAVOR. Ephesians 2:4-6 says that God is rich in mercy and He has a great love for us. Even when we were dead, He made us alive through our union with Christ and He gave us joint seating with Him in heavenly places.
Luke 2:52 tells us that as a boy, Jesus grew physically and increased in wisdom and FAVOR with God and man. Trusting the Word of God causes us to increase in FAVOR and understanding.
Walking in GOD’S FAVOR,
