How to Receive God's Favor
By looking at 6 people in Scripture who were clearly favored by God, we can learn more about what characteristics they lived out that attracted the heart and favor of God:
- Be his friend like Abraham who walked with God by faith. As you show great faith in a great God, He will call you His friend too.
- Show obedience like Joseph who always did the next right thing despite many hardships God placed him in before revealing the purpose behind them all.
- Be meek and humble like Moses and recognize that promotion comes from God alone.
- Desire to do His will like David- and you will find God sees your heart over your mistakes.
- Be surrendered like Mother Mary- whatever circumstances may come your way, a surrendered response to the Lord will find you highly favored by God.
- Stay close to Jesus like the apostle John- who stayed at the cross when all other disciples fled. Be one who stays near to Jesus and God will notice.
May you be highly favored this 2023. God bless!
