Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart.Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
Proverbs 3:3-4 (NLT)
Last week, we learned that to obtain favor with God and people, we must be loyal, kind, respect God and believe in Jesus Christ. Today we will explore three more secrets to obtaining favor:
- Be humble
Humility is having a deep sense of one’s (moral) littleness; modesty, and lowliness of mind. It is being aware that we are nothing without the grace of God upon our lives and therefore having total dependence on God. When we humble ourselves we will obtain favor from God:
Toward the scorners He is scornful, but to the humble He gives favor.
Proverbs 3:34 (ESV)
- Seek God’s favor
God says we will find Him when we seek Him with all of our heart. Therefore as we develop a relationship with Him, we can, like the Psalmist ask God to shower us with His favor:
Remember me, O Lord, when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them
Psalm 106: 4 (ESV)
- Seek God’s Kingdom first
When we put God first in everything we do, and seek for the establishment of His kingdom here on earth, He gives us other things that we did not ask for including favor:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Prayer
Dear Lord, please remember me when You show favor to Your people; help me when You save them in Jesus name.
