The favor

 

Ever ask a friend to do you a favor?

My neighbor and I do favors

for each other all the time.

Over the winter, he has plowed my snow;

 in the spring, I helped him with my backhoe.

It is nice to have someone you can

count on when you need a favor.

As much favor my neighbor and I have for

each other, there are some needs we cannot meet.

Think about this…

 Asking God for a favor.

What kind of favor would

you like God to do for you?

Every time favor is given

grace is poured out.

I know a lot of people who are full

of favor, grace flows from them.

They would do anything for anyone.

The Scriptures tell us over and over

again that our God is full of grace.

 

He loves to do favors.

As we look at the spiritual blessings

in heaven, we see God’s “Glorious Grace”.

  

God has freely given it to

 us in “the One He loves”…

Forgiveness, Adoption, Redemption

Jesus’ journey to the world, His

Message of wisdom and knowledge,

His suffering and pain;

Was to connect you to God the Father

so you would be in the greatest position to

 receive His favor the grace He is so full of.

The closer you are to someone

the greater expressions of favor.

Through Jesus the offensive things

 we have done, He forgives.

Through Jesus, you and I,

can become children of God.

Through Jesus, the wreckage we

have made of life, God redeems us.

The greatest hindrances to

receiving favor Jesus removed. 

So the first thing we should do is be thankful.

Now “in everything by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be

 made known unto God.” Philippians 4:6

Because He wants to release His favor/grace on us.

If with God there is not a day without His grace…

Then with us there should not be

a day without gratefulness.

If you are grateful, than go

ahead ask God for a favor.

Scripture Reading 

Ephesians 1:3-7 NIV

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

Philippians 4:6 KJV

6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
