“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those, whose heart is completely His” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
This verse paints a wonderful picture of the Divine Favor. Does your heart wholly belong to the Lord? Then you can be sure that He wants to strongly support you.
What is the Divine Favor?
On the natural, favor is not fair. Favor means you are “God’s favorite.” When the Divine Favor is on your life, it opens doors that you wouldn’t be able to open by our own ability.
This is how I define the Divine Favor: God does something for you that you cannot do for yourself.
As a child of God, you need to EXPECT HIS FAVOR, knowing that if you’re about His business, He’ll be about yours.
You need to be confident that where His finger points, His hand provides. He’ll make sure you have everything you need to thrive there. He does it for your good, but also for His glory!
I often say that until you know how generous God is, you’ll never know how good He is. His goodness is expressed through His Favor and generosity.
I’ve traveled to many countries and discovered that the Divine Favor works even in the most unlikely and hostile places.
Over and over again, I’ve proven this promise to be true: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
On your journey with the Lord, make sure to expect the unexpected. There will be situations in your life where only God’s Favor can lead you through. Have the spirit of adventure—and enjoy the journey with the Shepherd!
Affirm out loud:
“Surely GOODNESS in the wildest sense
(Prosperity / Happiness / Delight)
& MERCY
(Covenant Loyalty / Abundant Favor / Benefits)
CHASE AFTER ME every day of my life.
I will be found home in the house of the Lord FOREVER”
(Psalm 23:6).
Check yourself:
1. I know I was “wired” to respond to love—and to be overtaken by His Favor daily.
ALWAYS SOMETIMES NEVER
2. I am sure that God Himself ordains my steps.
ALWAYS SOMETIMES NEVER
3. I expect to experience Divine appointments, deals and opportunities.
ALWAYS SOMETIMES NEVER
