Favor: is an act of kindness or goodwill given to someone not because of anything done or their status in life.
So many times we have heard “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord”, but have we, as women, really sat down and figured out what we truly have to offer the man that God has set aside specifically for us? If not then how can we help him reach his destiny in life? If we were created to be a help to our mate and we don’t know how to use the tools given to us then why complain when the house falls because we didn’t use our tools right to build the foundation?
Here are a few ways to know that you have found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
1. Gen 18:3- You have found favor when you can recognize that the Lord is in your presence and you do not want him to leave your side. If you honor God he’ll honor you and never leave your side.
2. Gen 30:27- Other people are blessed because of you. In doing what is right others have to opportunity to receive blessings from the Lord through you. So don’t be stingy and arrogant thinking things happen because YOU make them happen it’s all because of the Lord.
3. Ex 3:21- You are paid by your enemies. Whether by action, deed, money etc. your enemies will be delivered back to your hand.
4. Esther Ch. 2- Certain things happen unexpectedly or ahead of time and cause you to be promoted. Esther was able to find favor in Hegai which allowed her to receive extra benefits other girls did not receive. Because of this she was able to win the favor of the King and save her people.
Knowing these truths that a woman has God’s presence with her at all times, can be a blessing and not a curse to others, is not ruled by the revenge of her enemies but trusts and has faith that God will right their wrongs, and can receive favor from even the most unexpected place and will not abuse it should make any man come running right? Lol if you know what you can offer than you won’t settle for less, compromise for crazy things and can truly “upgrade” a man to a status higher than any he could achieve in this life. You can offer him the favor of the Lord that he will receive for seeking the Lord and obeying when He placed you in his path!
