Favor … what is it, why do we need it, and how do we find it? Let’s take a look at each of those questions.
First, what is favor? Favor is a divine, assigned, advantage for success. It is not happenstance but a treasure you find. Favor is the presence of God, that gives me the power of God to make the promises of God work in and through my life for the good of God and man.
Second, why do we need favor? The reason you need to increase in favor is because it is a divine, assigned, advantage for your success.
Third, how do we find favor? Doing the expected is good, it brings blessings. But when you go the extra mile or know what’s in someone’s heart and do things before being asked, you find favor. A lot of people think that favor and blessing are the same things and they’re not. When you have the heart to do more than you are asked to do, you find favor. It is not happenstance … finding favor in big things always follows faithfulness in little things. Faithfulness activates God’s favor in your life and ultimately produces a fruit-full life! Therefore, stay faithful in your responsibilities as a servant leader – both at work and home. Have a joyful attitude in the middle of “life and its challenges.” Your boss may be unreasonable, your spouse insensitive or your child disrespectful, but the Lord and discerning people see your humble heart and will reward you with respect, rest and responsibility.
“Let not mercy (love) and truth (loyalty) 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 NKJV (note: emphasis added)
Remember, God does not have favorites. He does, however, favor people who favor His principles! Follow God’s lead, you will find His favor indeed!
