God gives favor

“For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.” (Psalm 5:12 ESV)

Because of Jesus we have God’s favor

When Christ was born the angelic host announced to the shepherds that God would send "peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:14 ). Another word for favor is grace, which is often defined as “unmerited favor”.

“And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”

His favor wins battles

“For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them." (Psalm 44:3, NKJV)

He bestows favor and honor

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11 ESV)

His favor establishes the work of your hands

“Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!” (Psalm 90:17 ESV)

His favor is for a lifetime

“For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”  (Psalm 39:35 ESV)

Because of His favor you have a hope and a future

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Her. 29:11)

Therefore…

“Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matt. 6:31-33 ESV)
