God’s Favor

“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered.  “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” (John 9:3 NLT).

In the Bible, we read about man who was born blind.  Some people were asking Jesus, “Why was he born this way?”  “Whose fault was it, his or his parents?”  They were trying to find someone to blame, some reason, some excuse for his condition.  And interestingly, we tend to do the same type of thing today.  But I love the way Jesus answered them; He said, “It’s not anybody’s fault.  The reason this man was born this way was so that the goodness of God could be displayed.”  Then He touched the man and healed him. Oh what a touch. Oh what a God!

When you have a setback, when life deals you a tough blow, when the economy is unstable, don’t get bitter Don’t settle there. Get better at praying, at readying his word and praising him for all he has done.  Recognize that your trial means you are a prime candidate for God to show His favor and goodness.  When the storms of life come, your attitude should be, “God, I’m ready! I know You have something great in store! Weeping my endure for the night but morning is coming. I refuse to live defeated and depressed.  I know this difficulty is simply another opportunity for You to show Your goodness through me.” Come on God I’m waiting...
Father, thank You for choosing to show Your glory and goodness through me.  I choose to stand in faith, knowing that You are working all things out for my good.  I bless You and thank You for Your faithfulness!  In Christ’ Name.  Amen.
