| For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. |
| Psalm 5:12 |

God’s Favor Gives You Rest | |
Do you remember the story of
Ruth? Ruth was a poor Moabite widow who ended up meeting and marrying
Boaz, one of the richest men in Bethlehem. Her life started to change
for the better after she confessed favor upon herself. When she went out
to glean heads of grain, she “happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz” (Ruth 2:2–3).
What God did for Ruth, He
can do for you too. He can make right happenings happen for you. Simply
believe and confess that you have favor with Him. Ruth confessed favor
and happened to find herself in the field of Boaz. Who do you think was
leading and guiding her?
With all our “wisdom” and
high IQs, we are not always able to put ourselves at the right place at
the right time to experience blessings or even escape disasters. Only
God can do that supernaturally. That’s why favor with Him gives us rest.
Because when you trust in the favor of God, even if you are not very
smart in the natural, God can put you at the right place at the right
time and prosper you!
Beloved, when you live life
believing that you are favored by God, you don’t have to worry about the
things that you don’t know. Believe that God will make known to you
what you need to know. You don’t have to live life trying to make sure
that you have everything covered. Rest in God’s unearned and unmerited
favor and watch Him put you at the right place at the right time!
