You’ve probably heard about the powerful shield of faith which quenches all of the fiery darts of the wicked one. But did you know that favor is also a shield. And not just any shield. It’s a large shield that surrounds the righteous, protecting them from the wicked one. Psalm 5:12 (GW) says: “You bless righteous people, O Lord. Like a large shield, you surround them with your favor”. Favor includes: supernatural benefits, the privilege of sonship, rights granted as sons of God, gracious kindness bestowed. One moment of favor can turn your situation around in a moment. God gave Joseph favor, and in one moment, he went from being a prisoner to becoming a prime minister. God gave David favor and he went from being hunted down by the king to becoming the king. God gave Gideon favor, and he went from being a scared man with a low self-esteem to becoming a deliverer. What would happen to you if God would show you favor? Put Him first in your life, and watch how God’s favor surrounds you and blesses you beyond your greatest expectations!
