Favor

Proverbs 13:15-17

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

¹⁶ Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

The most recent topic we have been discussing in bible study is about favor.

I never really paid much attention to the need of favor and the appreciation of what favor does for our walk.

Have you ever been in a situation that you know you need to have a certain outcome for everything to be okay? Or in a situation where you want to achieve something that you know you couldn’t buy your way in? Well that is a prime example of when you need favor.

Favor is not something that you earn but rather what you ask for when getting ready to go into a situation. Favor comes when you ask, knowing that you are living a righteous life and not living in sin. Favor is the one thing that can take you from rags to riches in ways that no other worldly person could ever imagine.

I have heard a few people say that they don’t need much and that they just know “the Lord will provide enough”…God is the God of ‘enough’, He is the God of ‘Abundance’!

When you ask for favor in situations it doesn’t just mean you get to get ahead it means that you get to achieve and come in contact with people that God had set aside for you to ‘touch’ their lives. When you get that business going or that job promotion that you asked favor for, you are now able to do more to reach those that wouldn’t have been reached hadn’t you lived a righteous life and asked for favor!
