Favor

Scripture:

Ether 2:17  "Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins.  So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti".

Observation:

Esther was a Jewish girl who was raised in her cousin's home in a country that was not their own.  She was literally an orphan without father or mother.  She was the least likely to become queen, but God had a plan and when God has a plan, He will place favor on your life.  Esther was favored as the most beautiful woman in the empire and was selected to become queen as a result.

Application:

When God chooses to put favor on your life, even your enemies will be attracted to you.  When God decides to bless you, nobody and nothing can stand against you.  The favor of God will bring you up when everyone is trying to put you down.  With the favor of God comes promotion, blessing, authority and the ability to do what others cannot do.  We need God's favor on our lives.

Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, let Your favor be upon my life.  Let me find favor with you and walk in your favor every day.  Let doors open before me that can only be from You.  Let me walk the path of Your incredible favor.  I love you and will serve you for eternity.

Yours,
Jeff
