"A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will
he condemn."  (Proverbs 12:2)


Today's Thought

One cannot be a "good man" on his own. It is only through the mercy and
grace of God that mankind could ever be called "good" or find the favor of
the Lord. Only those who are covered by the soul-cleansing blood of the
Lamb of God can truly find favor in the eyes of God . . . the blood
purchased their goodness!

The wicked . . . well, they have their favor from man and from the systems
of this world. They may receive the appause of men, the unexplained
promotions, the wealth of this world, but they are miserable . . . and they
are condemned to die.

"Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve" . . . will you find favor with
God, or will you pursue favor from man? Remember that God's favor is
eternal . . . man's is for a moment.


Today's Prayer

Father, to find favor with God has always been a goal me as I have
endeavored to be "good". Father forgive me for often taking my life into my
own hands and help me to allow you to make me and mold me into a vessel of
honour pleasing to you!

Father, grant me your favor as I learn to be more like you day by day.
Amen!


Have a blessed day!
