WALKING INTO FAVOR
In the word of God, we see multiple people who tapped into supernatural keys that caused them to obtain God's attention and gain his favor. Here is one of them – look at this:
Genesis 6:8-9 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.
Out of all the people in the world, only Noah and his wife and children were saved from the destruction that came upon the earth. What was it about Noah's life that invited such favor? Isaiah 64:6 tells us that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Galatians 3:11 says that no one is made right with God by obeying the law because the righteous must live by faith! Evidently there was something real and personal about the way Noah walked with God. Yes, something caught his notice! Galatians 5:16 declares that walking (or living) in the Spirit causes us to live right! Walking in the spirit means having an intimate relationship with God by faith. The following Scripture gives us a clear understanding of how Noah walked into the favor of God.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith, he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Wow! Noah tapped into the righteousness of God that comes from faith! We are talking thousands of years before Jesus came! If Noah was able to tap into it, much more so you and me!
I hope you grasp the reality that God is in love with you and is longing for you to step into the life of his favor! Yes! The blessed life of his favor is for you! Living your life with God throughout your day is key to walking into God's favor! Noah was a man who believed God; he trusted the voice of God and walked with God i.e. he lived in the spirit.
I’m sure for most, Noah was a crazy man! Up to this time, it had never rained on the earth. Why in the world would Noah be building a huge ship on dry land for something that the earth had never witnessed? But Noah believed the word God had spoken to him and was going about his daily life living in obedience to what God had said! Herein lies the key! God has given you today! Don’t wait for something to happen tomorrow to choose to trust God! No! Trust God completely today! Live knowing that you are everything God has ever wanted! Like a child, receive that you are God’s dream come true! Today must be your day! Do not wait for tomorrow!
I’m praying for you today! I am trusting God that you are leaving the performance-based life and are entering into the faith-based life! May you, by faith, go deeper into the life and love of God today! Yes – may you, like Noah, spend your day…
