FAVOUR OF GOD

Proverbs 3:1,3-4 NLT My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.  Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.

Our verses today tell us how to have a good reputation and find favour with God and people, which is a great combination and something we all would like!😊 We can have favour when we go for interviews, favour at the shops, favour wherever we go!

In the Old Covenant they had to earn the favour of God, but under the New Covenant we receive God’s favour because Jesus won it for us at the Cross and gave it to us as part of our salvation. It is part of the covenant blessings available to us.😊

Again, it’s a reminder to come every day to His throne of grace and receive all Jesus has bought and paid for, for us. His word tells us His favour surrounds us like a shield, that the blessing of God is on the head of the righteous and God has made us righteousness in Jesus. He also says His favour lasts a lifetime, it doesn't come and go, which is more good news!😊

Everything we have is because of Jesus and we can receive it by faith and thank God for it as we learn to walk in His favour day by day and not leave any of it still in the throne room unused!😊

Do you need favour today? Then go to the throne of God’s grace and simply receive whatever it is you need by faith. The wonder and glory of it is we know we don’t deserve anything, but God gives it to us because of His great love for us. 

Let’s go out and consciously expect to have favour with God and people today, rejoicing because God has already given it to us through Jesus. Thank You Lord. Amen.😊
