Walking in the Favor of the Lord

Introduction

When we favor someone, we want to be with them more than others. We connect with them in a way that we don’t connect with everyone.

We usually favor people who also favor us.

In the same way, God shows favor to the ones who delight in, connect with, and give honor to Him.

Isaiah 66:2 NIV

2 Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.

2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV

9 For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.”

Today’s message is titled: Walking in the Favor of the Lord. We are going to discover what the “Favor of the Lord” is and how every believer can walk in it.

The best definition of the word favor is “demonstrated delight.”

The favor of God can be described as “tangible evidence that a person has the approval of the Lord.”
