God’s Favor is Life!

God’s Favor is Life!

Memorize and Meditate

“For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord.” (Proverbs 8:35)

Wisdom is what you and I want to find. If we find the right kind of wisdom we find life and favor from God.

  • We know the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God.
  • We know the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.
  • We know the wisdom of this world and the rulers of this world are coming to nothing.

So we have a decision to make.

Soak your Heart

We want to soak our heart in the wisdom of God because it transforms the way we think and our attitude about what is going on in this world. The world seeks all that is in the process of perishing. We seek an imperishable crown.

Sow to the Spirit

Solomon asked for wisdom. Moses asked God to show him his ways, so he could know him and find grace and favor in God’s sight. This is what differentiates us from the rest of the world: God’s grace and favor.

We seek that wisdom from above, because in Christ are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. We are complete in him. Let’s be sure to sow to the Spirit as we learn his wisdom and claim his promises. This sets the Spirit free to impart divine life to our mortal body.

Flow with the Spirit

The Spirit transforms us by degrees. His Word is always at work in us. For it is God who works in us, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Each day we should acknowledge him and trust him to work out his will. Things may seem to be standing still, but we serve a God who is always moving, creating, and bringing to conclusion his plan for the ages.

Practice

We want to be in God’s Word. His wisdom transforms our mind and renews us in every way. Let’s always be in communion with the Holy Spirit. He is the one who searches the deep things of God. He can reveal what God wants to communicate to us.

Don’t Water it Down!

  And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4) Don’t Water it Down All of us have dreams we’re believing for, but too often we get discouraged and quit believing for the fullness of what’s in our heart. It’s easy to water down what God promised us. “I don’t like this job, but it’s good enough.” “I was believing for a house, but this apartment is okay.” “I was hoping to get well, but I’ve learned to live with this sickness.” If you’re going to become all you were created to be, you have to keep a fire in your spirit that says, “I refuse to settle for less than what God promised.” You’re not going to be talked out of it, you’re not going to water it down, and you’re not going to let good enough be good enough. It may be more difficult and taking longer than you thought, but what God promised you is still on the way—not a watered-down version, not a make-do promotion,

The Roots of Hope!

  The Roots of Hope Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17–19 “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. ”  From a circumstantial standpoint, the prophet Habakkuk lived in a terrible time. The land was soon to be invaded and, because of the disobedience of the people to God over time, prosperity was no more. Even though the circumstances were bad, Habakkuk gives us the formula for not only surviving but also thriving in such a period. The above passage shows us that Habakkuk did not allow circumstances to steal his joy. It is an example for us that our joy and happiness have to be based on more than just having go

The Source of Son Power!

  The Source of Son Power “ In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever. ” (Hebrews 1:10–12) These verses were written about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus is the one who laid the foundation of the earth! Jesus made the heavens with his hands! Jesus is the one who is always the same and will live forever! The earth and heavens we are able to see will be folded up someday and discarded like old clothing, but Jesus will live forever. From a human perspective, I do not know if we can even begin to comprehend the magnitude of these verses. We are talking about power far beyond any human imagination. We are talking about  Son Power . The same Son Power that is at work in the heart of the submissive believer. This is the power that is
