The Greatness of His Favor

Scripture

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us…raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 2:4–7, NKJ)

Word

Oftentimes, people set their focus on what God has done in the past — how He parted the Red Sea or stopped the sun for Joshua or fed thousands of people with just a little boy’s small lunch. Yes, God has performed many amazing miracles throughout history, and it’s important that we give Him glory for those things. But at the same time, we also need to look for what God wants to do in our lives today!

In today’s verse, Paul says that “in the ages to come” God would do things that far supersede anything He’s ever done before. I believe that the “ages to come” is this day and time we’re living in right now. God wants to outdo Himself in our generation!

Today, know that God has greater levels of His favor and blessing in store for you! Dare to believe, dare to dream big, and dare to take hold of every blessing that He has in store for you!

Prayer

Father, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. Today I look for the greatness of Your favor! Thank you for increasing me in every area of life! Use me for Your glory in Jesus’ name, Amen.

(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
