The Time of Favor
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
That day the
LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they revered him all the
days of his life…
Joshua 4:14,
NIV.
TODAY’S WORD
I love the
promise that God gave to Joshua. He said, “Joshua, today I will begin to make
you great in the eyes of all the Israelites.” He was saying, “Today, I’m going
to start releasing more of My favor, My blessings, My increase.” But notice,
there was a specific time in his life that God began to release favor in a new
way.
Friend, I
believe God wants to do the same thing for you. He wants to release His
blessing and favor in such a way that it makes you great—a great parent, a
great spouse, a great leader, a great employee, a great friend, a great
business person. He is saying to us what He said to Joshua, “This day I’m going
to begin to make your name great. This day I’m going to begin to release My
favor in a new way. I’m going to open doors that no man can shut.” It is a set
time of God’s favor. Get ready! Make room in your thinking. Stay open to Him
and keep an attitude of faith and expectancy because the time of God’s favor is
here!
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, I
bless You today. Thank You for pouring out Your favor and blessing upon me. I
open my heart and mind to receive every good thing You have in store for me
today in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

"From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God." (Psalm 22:10 NIV)
In faith, we know this to be true:
God spoke me into my mother's womb, and he has anointed me to teach his ways to others.
Before I was formed in the womb, God knew me (Jeremiah 1:5). He created my inmost being; he knit me together in my mother's womb (Psalm 139:13).
From my birth, while I was still in the womb, I cast myself into God’s loving hands. He has been my God since I was in my mother’s womb (Psalm 22:10). From birth I have relied on him; he brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise him, my God and Heavenly Father (Psalm 71:6).
My objective-in-Jesus is to live a life shaped by God, not by my feelings or thoughts or one shaped by peer pressure. I am God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for me to do (Ephesians 2:10).
I will trust in the Lord with all my heart; I will lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways I will acknowledge you, Lord, knowing, since I was in my mother’s womb, you have straightened the path for me (Proverbs 3:5-6).
