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.

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
