And he came to her and said, "Greetings, you are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Luke 1:28
God’s favor is ours. He is with us. His desire is for success to be ours. He has perfected a plan for us. Unfortunately, we often derail the plan. Yet, His favor never leaves us. He does not leave us. Christ is accustomed to prodigals. He waits for our return home to Him. The gift of free will is so often misguided in our lives. We often make choices based on our emotions rather than the guidance of Holy Spirit. Our self-serving decisions get us into more jams than we care to mention. Our faith needs to be anchored in God’s favor and grace. Favor, blessings, and love are ours. When we walk with the understanding, God is with us, it is then we are able to find the paths He has chosen. As we surrender to Him, His favor increases and surrounds us in a mighty way. Praying this day, we claim His favor and His presence.
