Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to September. It’s a brand new month and it is going to be a great month of favor and growth. We have created a special September guide for you! In this guide, we cover growing in your faith and praying effectively for your family members. Click the link, download your free copy, and follow along with us this month.

Psalms 5:11-12 (NKJV) says, “But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You. For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as [with] a shield.”

As the Scripture shares, we rejoice because we put our faith in God. Faith in God creates a life full of rejoicing. We even rejoice when we face trying circumstances because we know God always gives us the victory and causes us to win. We shout for joy because God defends us. We can be full of joy because of the goodness of God and the power of His wonderful name. Verse 12 reveals a marvelous promise from God. He will bless us with favor as a shield.

Notice, favor is a blessing from God! The favor of God defends us and advances us in the purposes of God for our life. The favor of God also creates wonderful situations for us to experience and to enjoy.

To be favored means to be regarded or treated with favor specifically provided with advantages. It also means to be specially privileged. That is what God has in store for you today and all month long!

In today’s podcast, I share more about God’s favor and encourage you to embrace September as a month of growth. Stream today’s podcast and then share it with someone you know that needs to hear it and be encouraged. I’m praying for you. Have an amazing day!

Also, men, don’t miss this opportunity! Our Men of Faith Roundtable is coming up! This year’s roundtable will be held from October 22nd to October 24th in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The cost is only $499 which covers hotel, a steakhouse experience, all meals, activities, and more! You can find out more information and register at this link.

I am the salt of the earth. I am the light of this world. Jesus said it so I believe it. I am a carrier of the Glory of God. Today, I will experience the extreme goodness of God. Today, I make myself available for God to show His goodness to others through me.  Today, I am increasing in influence. Today, I will see the goodness of God in my life! Today, something good is going to happen to me so I expect miracles. 

Remember to pray the daily prayer for 2026.

We are reading through the Books of 1st Kings, 2nd Kings, 1st Chronicles, 2nd Chronicles, and Psalms this Summer. Today, read 2 Kings 1-2.
