GOD'S FAVOR, I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT!

The favor of God can be described as “tangible evidence that a person has the approval of the Lord.” God shows favor to the ones who delight in, connect with, and give honor to Him.  Isaiah 66:2says, “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” Second Chronicles 16:9says, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” To be “perfect” toward Him means we seek His favor more than we seek the favor of anyone else, even ourselves. God seeks out those who love Him and love His commands so that He can bless, guide, and protect them (Psalm 37:23; Proverbs 3:5–6).
