"Good people obtain favor from the Lord, but he condemns those who devise wicked schemes." Proverbs 12:2 (NIV)

If we obtain favor from the Lord by being good; what make a person good enough to obtain godly favor? There can be only one answer, JESUS! When the Spirit of Christ enters a man or woman they are changed; the way they think, their character, what they see value in, how they behave towards the lost, how they behave towards other Christians...everything changes!!

Jesus said, "There is none good but one, that is, God." So, it is only the Spirit of God that can make a man good enough to obtain godly favor. The Spirit of God transforms a person into a new creation, a creation that is highly favored and blessed of the Lord!

The Apostle Paul wrote, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me." Christ was now alive and living through the Apostle Paul, just as He does through every born again believer, making that believer GOOD! Know today that you are good enough to obtain favor from God, not because of what you've done, but because of what Christ has done for you and through you! Expect to obtain favor in every situation you find yourself in! Look for the face of God to smile on you! You are highly favored and blessed, because Jesus is alive in you!

"For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord." Proverbs 8:35 (NLT)
