Happy Friday!

It’s time for a great weekend! Over the last few newsletters and podcasts, we have seen how Genesis 12:2 and 2nd Corinthians 8:9 (AMPC) mention different types of favor. Favor is multifaceted. There is more than one type of favor. Here’s the good news. God wants you to experience all of His favor. It should be part of your everyday life. It should be a sign and hallmark for your life.

Let’s take a look at the favor Noah experienced. Genesis 6:8 (NLT) says, “But Noah found favor with the LORD.” As we study Genesis 6, we understand why Noah found favor with the Lord. In a corrupt world gone made, Noah chose to live right and follow the ways of the Lord. As a result, he experienced merited favor. When discussing grace, most people talk about unmerited favor. I’m grateful for unmerited favor, aren’t you? Today, I want you to realize there is also merited favor. God wants you to experience both unmerited and merited favor.

Choose to live right. Don’t give up. Keep joyfully living for God. He has favor for you today. In today’s podcast, we expound on this thought and the path and place that God has for you. 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.
