Favor


David honored God in all his ways and now God was honoring him.


Favor can be interpreted grace. We can not earn Gods’ favor. He chooses whom He will.


We can however live a life worthy of our calling by making wise choices that are honoring to God simply because we love Him.

God promises that the righteous will not be forsaken.

In this way we can set ourselves up for promotion by living righteously.

Remember that David remained faithful even when he was falsely accused.

Jesus remained faithful throughout His persecution.

Humility comes before promotion and favor.


Action Step

Trust God and surrender control to Him.

He is faithful!
