Have you ever thought about the fact that the victories you
saw in your past weren’t just your own doing? The bible says, “For they did not
gain possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save
them; but it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance,
because You favored them.”
When you made it through a difficult time, when you received
an unexpected break, when things turned around for no reason, it was because
God favored you. You wouldn’t even be alive today if not for the gracious hand
of God on your life!
You need to know today that it doesn’t matter if you don’t
have as much education as someone else. It doesn’t matter how influential someone
else’s family is. It doesn’t matter what your background is. God’s favor can,
has, and will take you places and to heights you can’t go on your own.
When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, He places
something undeniable on the inside of you. Something that can’t be measured,
can’t be put on paper, and can’t be explained — it is His favor shining down on
you! Other people may not be able to figure it out. All they know is that
you’ve got ‘something’ — that’s the gracious hand of God.
Right now, in this moment, let this truth sink down deeply
into your heart. Don’t be discouraged by what you can see, be encouraged by
what you can’t see! Put your shoulders back and go out with faith and
confidence knowing that His gracious hand is upon you. All that you thought was
holding you back is no match for your heavenly Father! He WILL deliver you and
you WILL experience victory and restoration in every way you need it!
