Good morning friends
You were created from God's good thoughts, he created you fearfully and wonderfully, he drew you close to him, so that you might know him and be embraced by him.
His good plans prevail in your life and he has so many favourable thoughts concerning you, imagine these favourable thoughts towards us far outnumber the grains of sand. Just that thought is enough for us to break out in thanksgiving, praise and worship. Thank you Lord for your favour for us, which lasts a lifetime.
Amen
Psalm 139
1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;You understand my thought afar off.3 You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,And are acquainted with all my ways.4 For there is not a word on my tongue,But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.5 You have [b]hedged me behind and before,And laid Your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?Or where can I flee from Your presence?8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.9 If I take the wings of the morning,And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,And Your right hand shall hold me.11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,”Even the night shall be light about me;12 Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,But the night shines as the day;The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
13 For You formed my inward parts;You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works,And that my soul knows very well.15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You,When I was made in secret,And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.And in Your book they all were written,The days fashioned for me,When as yet there were none of them.
17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!How great is the sum of them!18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;When I awake, I am still with You.
The greatest thing in this life is to know God to receive God's forgiveness and his love. To experience his grace and mercy. To receive his favour in faith.
What is God's favour?
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
Above all the din of this world and the troubles of this life may we keep focus of the eternal as we experience God’s daily portion of favour for us.
May we stay in his favour:
Isaiah 66:2 says, “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.”
Amen
Thank you Lord for your uncommon divine favour that surrounds us as a shield
(Psalm 5:12)
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
