"Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:47 (NIV)

Favor, it can be defined as a friendly disposition shown towards another that brings blessings and generosity. The Apostles found favor in the eyes of men, because they had found favor in the eyes of God through Jesus Christ! This favor they had was undeserved and it was unearned. But, it was greatly and abundantly manifested in the Apostle's lives!

God's favor can still be received by all believers through Jesus Christ today! Favor, it is more valuable than silver and gold. For both silver and gold have their limits and will eventually be spent, but the favor we receive from God through Jesus Christ is enduring and has no limits! The favor of God brings the blessings of God to our lives! But, we must be careful, for this favor cannot be earned, but only received through Jesus Christ! It is a gift of love and must be received with a humble and loving heart towards God. It was Harry Ironside who said, "Grace is the very opposite of merit... Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor, shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite." FREELY receive God's favor today! Seek God's favor above earthly riches that so quickly diminish! Allow it to overtake you and bless you! Make a choice not to live by your own merits, but by those of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." Zephaniah 3:17 (NLT)
