FAVOUR

Nov 20, 2024, 11:04 AM

"And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favour with the Lord and with men." (1 Samuel 2:26)
"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men." (Luke 2:52)
"And Esther won the favour of everyone who saw her." (Esther 2:15b)
'Favour' has always been, in our every day life, a facilitator for greater blessings and opportunities - a means to access a number of privileges.  
It opens doors that hitherto would have barred our progress.
We don't literally go seeking all out for it. God grants it like in the case of prophet Samuel, our Lord Jesus and Esther through men because we all need favour in our work life and in our daily lives.
If God did not favour Joseph, he would not have had access to Pharaoh to be able to save the Children of Israel from famine. Jesus' ministry needed money for his operations and the women disciples took this upon themselves. (Luke 8:2-3)
Today ask God for favour. It is in His power to give.
