Favor of God And Men

                                      May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us - Psalm 90:17.

                      Mercy and truth are the keys to walk in the favor of God. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man - Proverbs 3:3,4. Mercy and truth belong to those who devise good - Proverbs 14:22. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy - Matthew 5:7. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth - John 17:17.            

                Let mercy and truth be always in our heart so that we can find favor in the sight of God and men.  When we seek God, we will find Him. We will obtain favor from the Lord as we find Him. For whoever finds me finds life, And obtains favor from the Lord - Proverbs 8:35. Jesus grew in wisdom, stature and in favor with God and men.  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men - Luke 2:52.

            Mary found favor in the sight of God. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you” - Luke 1:28. Queen Esther found favor in the sight of the king. The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins - Esther 2:17. God's favor lasts a lifetime (Psalm 30:5). May we also obtain the favor of God and men.                                               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to receive favor from You and men. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
