Scripture: Psalm 5:12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. (NIV)
Nugget: I think that we sometimes take God’s favor for granted. We spend time complaining about different things, that we lose sight of the favor God has given us.
Having a job to go to in this economy: that’s God’s favor. Having a place to live: that’s God’s favor. Getting something that you never thought you’d qualify for: that’s God’s favor. The list can go on & on!!
God’s favor surrounds us daily; it’s the armor that shields us, even when we lose sight of it.
Quote: “Our ‘works’…can never bring us into God’s favor. Only faith, the humble acceptance of God’s offer of salvation, can do so.” –Douglas Moo
