Psalm 84:11
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.”
Is God’s favor evidenced in our life?
Listening to God will be one of the ways of finding favor in your life. He appreciates us listening to His commandments, walking on the narrow path. And doing all as a reflection of Jesus and His light that’s within each of us, who are His followers.
One of the ways we will notice that we’ve found favor with the LORD is the way He blesses us. He’ll bring about a change for the better in our lives, as evidenced by the changes or prolific abundance of peace we will invariably experience.
Are we listening to Him?
We pray every day, open our Bibles and read passages and verses, and then go about our day. There is nothing wrong with doing all of the above, however…have you ever stopped to “listen” to what He has to say, to you personally?
How does He speak to us?
He speaks to us in a variety of ways, but one of the most outstanding, is by being a very strong presence in our life. By knowing He is with us, every step of the way. By feeling the confidence, and hearing His voice in our heart, concerning His promises. And by the love of Christ, who redeemed us. That’s just a little bit of how He speaks to us, if we take the time to “hear.”
Walking in favor, in God’s eyes, shouldn’t be difficult. Because when we love Him, with all of our heart, mind strength and soul, (Mark 12:30 ) we aspire to all we can to please Him. The very notion of not pleasing Him, leaves us restless and unfulfilled. Whereas, when we do please Him, we are ultimately rewarded in many ways, thereby culminating into a fruitful existence. With a very powerful peace, that will be vitally attached in all we do.
Seeking His face, (Psalm 105:4) and loving Him, are conducive to finding favor in His eyes. It all goes around, and comes back to His love and our love, for Him.
When we get to know Him, on every level– spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, purposely, and inwardly–the parameters of peace, and happiness, will be fully opened to us–as He blesses us in turn.
Get Him, involved in your life.
Ask Him, about issues that surround you, and your loved ones.
Look for solutions to problems through Him, and His word.
What does He feel about it? What does He think about it? When we factor Him, on all of the equations in our life, we gain knowledge, and our spirits grow exponentially. Inherently adding to our roots, that are grounded in Him, and His love.
Have you found favor in God’s eyes?
There’s a question that will either have infinite repercussions, or unapparelled rewards!
“Dear Father, how grateful I am for Your love and guidance, may I always seek Your face, and may I include You into every second of my life, through my actions, my thoughts, and my heart, and may I find favor in Your eyes, all the days of my life, and beyond, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
