Favor. In America, this English word generally describes when someone does something for us, especially if it is some undeserved nicety. It can also describe our preference for one thing over another. In the Hebrew, this particular word translated “favor” denotes delight and acceptability, desire and good pleasure. This scripture is telling us that the Lord will bless the righteous and that it is His delight…His good pleasure…His desire to surround the righteous with His favor as a shield. He is protecting us from the enemy, by His favor. Amazing!
Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ
to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the
glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. (Ephesians
6:3-6)
We are
made righteous, we are blessed, we are chosen, we are loved. We are favored by
God…surrounded by it, in fact! His favor protects us from the plans of the
enemy and makes way for all of those wonderful things that God has planned for
us: His dear children. God’s favor is priceless. Praise Him for it!!!!
