Shalom beloved family of God. Here is the word for today.
📖Psalm 30:5…”but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”📖
✍At this point, you may say, “But Apostle Gift , you don’t understand what am going through. I have done everything I can, I’ve tried to serve the Lord faithfully for many years, but I don’t really sense His favor right in my life.” Believe me, I have faced similar times. And so did the Bible’s greatest heroes. In fact, God’s favor often shines the brightest amid dark moments. Let me give you some examples of people whom amidst hard time, they experienced God’s favor.
• Noah lived in an exceptionally evil generation, and the Lord was about to pour out His judgment on humanity (Genesis 6:1-8). “But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD” (v. 8). What an encouraging lesson for us: Even if judgment, destruction, disease, or financial lack is all around us, we can experience God’s blessings, protection, and favor.
• Esther lived in extremely dangerous times, and powerful men like Haman were plotting to eradicate the Jewish people. Yet “Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her” (Esther 2:15). Later, that amazing favor enabled her to successfully petition the king for the Jews’ safety. Just as Esther experienced favor before the king, God wants to give us His favor “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14) — so we can make an impact on the people around us.
• Daniel was taken captive by the Babylonians and removed from his homeland. He could have thought the Lord had abandoned him, but instead we are told, “God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel” (Daniel 1:9).
↪This is such a wonderful reminder that God’s favor can come to us regardless of the difficulties and challenging circumstances we are experiencing. And no matter where we are! Favor will locate us and speak for us. Favor will avail for us that which God has purposed for us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
