Seek Godly wisdom. It brings with it life and favor!

Proverbs 8:35 (AMPC) “For whoever finds me [Wisdom] finds life and draws forth and obtains favor from the Lord.”

Favor is a powerful word. Here is its meaning in the original Hebrew:  “when someone is pleased or delighted with you.  It’s a solid reaction of a superior to an inferior.” God is superior to us, so when He shows us favor, He is showing his pleasure with us. He is delighted with us. Favor carries rewards with it. When earthly kings bestow favor upon someone, they are showing that they are pleased with that subject and reward them accordingly, whether with promotions, accolades or benefits. The Holy Scriptures teach that when we pursue Godly wisdom, we will will obtain favor from the Lord! This is His promise. I don’t have to beg for this. I just have to pursue wisdom. Wisdom brings with it life and favor. When you go before the King of kings, make sure you are carrying wisdom with you. The King will be pleased and delighted with you, and will show you favor (life, benefits, promotions, protection, affirmation, authority, joy and peace). And, He will bestow this to you in the presence of friends and foes alike! Something to think about today.
