Living in God’s Favor

I think the key to living in God’s favor is to love one another because love covers over a multitude of sins and we also need to strive for perfection. I’m writing some suggestions that would help us to live in God’s favor.  It would help us to not conform to the world but be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we may prove what is the good and perfect and acceptable will of God.  It would help if we resist sin and humbly live before God and before man and have the right attitude when doing our good deeds before God and man. It would also help everyone involved in this to stop bragging about their own accomplishments, I am guilty of this to my shame, and keep their focus on the Lord and His accomplishments while using us and the gifts that He has given us to fulfill His works in our life.  

Remember this, unless the Lord build the house ye labor in vain that build it, and I think this is true in everything we do; in our marriages, our relationships, in our ministries or whatever we try to accomplish as believers, we need to include the Lord in them all.  Plus, we need to hate all sin, but love the sinner.  We should also seek the truth by studying to show ourselves approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth, 2 Timothy 2:15.  We also should be proclaiming the truth and witnessing when the opportunity presents itself.  

We should try to spend time praying every day and thanking and praising the Lord for who He is and what He is and what He’s done and what He is going to do in our lives!!  We also need a strong faith and take to heart what God’s word says, regardless of the situation or the state of affairs we find ourselves in.  And, when we sin, we need to truly repent and turn from it and confess it to God and ask Him to forgive us and cleanse us from all sin and unrighteousness, by the precious blood of Jesus!!  

These are things that I think would be beneficial to all believers to help us to stay in favor with the Lord and probably you could come up with things that I haven’t listed here.  The important thing is that we honor him in all things and try our best to do His will in our lives.

I hope these have been a help and an encouragement and a blessing.  May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super day!!
