Hello Balanced Life Family,
God doesn’t have favorites… right? That would seem partial or unfair…wouldn’t it? Well the truth is, there are some people that God chooses to bless in a powerful way and they clearly have his anointing, protection and extraordinary blessings. That’s called the favor of God.
Favor is preferential treatment that is given to someone. God has people to which he shows preferential treatment. Now when it comes to salvation, there is no partiality. Whosoever will let him come, because it’s not the will of God that any soul should be lost. But when it comes to measuring out blessings, some people have the favor of God on their side.
Favor can cause an employer to choose you for a job instead of someone else. It can cause a judge to pardon you when he ordinarily would not. Favor can stretch your money, preserve your life, put your enemy at peace with you, heal you instantaneously, make a way out of no way… oh my God! These are only a few of the things that favor can do.
God’s favor is priceless. Now, if you’re wondering “How do I get it?” the answer is through righteous living. “For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12
Righteous living is simply living right. It’s nothing more than keeping God’s commandments. God commands us to love him with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. That covers it all; then we are available to receive God’s favor. The scripture says that if we don’t forget God’s law and let our heart keep his commandments then “shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.” Proverbs 3:4
So if you want preferential treatment, practice living right. Keep God’s commandments and enjoy walking in the favor of God!
