SURROUNDED WITH FAVOR


As reflected by the background patterns of this blog, there are the twists and turns of life’s journey that reveal a complicated scenario, but GOD’s favor, grace, and mercy are the factors that guarantee our successful exit of the complicated  maze of life.


The Lesson:

Basis:

Surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.  GOD’s investment in us is so great he could not possibly abandon us.  Commitment and success means commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.  It is not your business to succeed, but to do right, when you have done so, the rest lies with GOD.

Food for Thought!

(1)  List three (3) favors that GOD has granted you in your life.  You can go back as far as your childhood.
(2)  Do you wonder about your future?
(3)  Are you afraid for your welfare? -- Don’t be, not if your heart belongs to GOD and you live for Him.  Know what it means to commit your ways to GOD and understand how He defines success, and the result will be a highly successful life.  It may not appear that way to others, but appearance seems to matter little to GOD.

Definitions: (1) favor, (2) grace,  and (3) righteous
