“So David said to him, ‘Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.’”
2 Samuel 9:7 (NKJV)

AUGUST 15 - Very few understand the subject of favor. Many think favor is “luck” or “good fortune” and perhaps even “chance.” They do not understand that we are the determining factor for the favor that comes into our lives. God does not sit up in Heaven and tell Jesus, “Let’s show favor to Jimmy today, but as for Barbara, we are not going to show favor.” He gave us principles by which we can live our lives. By executing those principles, favor increases, and neglecting to do them, in turn, causes favor to decrease.

What is favor? Favor is the desire that someone has to help you succeed. It is when someone has a desire to participate in your future. John the Baptist needed the favor of Jesus—His Godly character of meekness and His eternal strength—to persevere through the greatest
of trials to come. He desperately needed Jesus in order to help him succeed, to take him where he had never been in his God-given assignment on earth.

We desperately need those who can take us to where we haven’t been. Understand this about favor: it can only come from those who can promote us. We must seek to please those God called us to serve, and when we do, we see the favor we need to enter the future we truly desire.

Father, I thank You that as Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and
in favor with You and men, so do I. I apply the necessary principles
to my life to cause the favor I need to come to fruition.
