You Have Favor
“And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!’” - Luke 1:28
Do you know why you can have peace in knowing that God’s promises are sure in your life? Because as a child of God, you must understand something: you have favor on your life. In Luke 1:28 the angel said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”
The Bible says so much about favor, which is defined as God's unmerited kindness. Favor is when God steps in to make an unimaginable, inexplicable difference in our lives. And you know you’re favored because, just as the angel tells Mary, you’ve got God’s presence.
Favor is not just about material prosperity, nor does it mean that trials won’t come your way. What it does mean is that God is on your side, and because of that, His presence bestows outcomes and benefits you would not otherwise have on your own.
In the Bible the Lord says, “I am with you” (Isaiah 41:10). It is a continuous action that covers the past, present, and future. Rejoice, because the Lord will never forsake you.
The reason that you can have hope and peace is in the assurance that not only are God’s promises still possible (they are), or that His Word is still true (it is), but that you are blessed and highly favored by your Heavenly Father.
He holds you in His hands. He is taking care of you, and He assumes responsibility for your future. When you give your life to Christ, He takes care of you. This does not mean everything will go perfectly. But it does mean that He is with you every step of the way. Rejoice, because the Lord has been with you the whole time!
Aren’t you thankful you are favored by an Almighty God?
