Finding God’s Favor

“But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.” Luke 1:10

How do get God’s favor? The bible says that you do this by growing in the wisdom which comes from the Lord.  Proverbs 8:35-36 says of wisdom, “For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death." Proverbs 9:10 also says “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…”

God’s favor is free for everybody. All you need to do is to have faith and make a choice to follow and serve him. Mary made a choice to live a a life led by God, to have God's will fulfilled in her life.  If you make a similar choice God’s favor will follow you. You will have the wisdom to make the most out of your life and be grateful and joyful for whatever you have been given, in good times as well as the bad.

God works through the faith we have in him. The good news is that Christ made our way easier to maintain our faith by becoming our everlasting priest, and part of us as strengthener and comforter.

Faith is not without worry or care, but faith is fear that has said a prayer.
