Favors Given By God

the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
Genesis 39:21

Count on it - you will need God's favor to succeed at whatever He has called you to do! You should pray for it daily, expecting to receive it! To be honest, it is exciting to watch His favors working for you in certain situations.

Joseph was wrongly accused of rape and imprisoned. But the Lord gave him favor with the prison warden and he ended up running the whole place. Daniel came out of the lions' den vindicated and without so much as a bite mark. Ruth, a young widow, found Boaz, the love of her life, and married him. All these folks experienced rejection and hardship, yet they succeeded in what God had called them to do because of His favor!

God's favor is available to you today! But because He promises it, it does not necessarily mean you will experience it. Many things are available to us that we do not enjoy. Why? Because we do not activate our faith in that area. Favor is actually a form of grace. The words translated as 'grace' and 'favor' come from the same Greek word charis. So, the grace of God is the favor of God, and His favor causes things to happen that we cannot orchestrate, earn or deserve. When you say to someone, 'Can you do me a favor?' you are usually asking for something that person is under no obligation to give, right? Well, the good news is, at the cross Jesus paid for and made available all the favor you will ever need. So exercise your faith and ask Him for it!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I need your favor today and every day of my life. Help me recognize and give credit to you when you do this. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
