Favor

Psalm 90:17 (NIV ) -“May the favor (beauty) of the Lord our God rest on us;

    establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.”

     Favor isn’t’ fair but it sure is fun.  We all know the great sense of wonder that overwhelms us when we know we are standing under the shower of God’s favor. When opportunities arise out of nowhere; when people make us the recipients of random acts of kindness; when we find money in unexpected places or when needed items just happen to be on sale.  Some may say that these are coincidences and that serendipity is at play when it appears that the cards have just fallen in the right place.  But those of us who know that life is not by chance, but that our steps are so ordered and that God is always making provision for us; we know that it is not dumb luck.  We know that God’s favor falls upon us and we are appreciative. So the next time some ‘things’ just seem to fall into place or when you ‘lucked up’ on a good thing… don’t be fooled.  Know that God’s favor and grace are upon his children and that he wants the best for us; even if that might be something as simple as a close parking space becoming available in the pouring rain.  Give God Thanks!

     Every day is a good day, it is up to us to make it a GREAT power-packed day!  Have a great weekend.  See you on Monday.  Be blessed!  Dr. JoAnn
