Psalms 44:3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord and he was preserved from the destruction of the flood (Genesis 6:8); Joseph found grace in the sight of the Potiphar and he was promoted; Ruth found grace in the sight of Boaz and qualified her for abundance (Ruth 2:2, 10); Esther obtained favour in the sight of all that looked upon her and she was chosen and accepted above all other women(Esther 2:15, 17);
Mary found favour with God and was marked for distinction – God did for her what He has not done for anyone before (Luke 1:30); Jesus had favour with God and men (Luke 2:40); Jesus increased in favour (Luke 2:52); the early church had favour with the people and many were added to the church (Acts 2:47; Romans 14:18).
Favour is better than riches. Favour will mark you out for distinction; favour will cause men to accept you (Romans 15:30-31); favour makes people to have delight in you; favour makes people to be pleased with you and what you say; favour brings increase; favour gives you the inheritance (there is a favour to acquire properties); favour beautifies the meek with salvation (Psalm 149:4);
There is a favour for marketing and selling; there is a favour to be promoted as an employee; favour can turn a nobody to a somebody – Ruth was nobody; but her faith in the God of Israel brought her into favour with Boaz. Jesus’ death on the cross has brought God’s favour upon you. Tap into that favour by believing and proclaiming the favour of God upon your life.
