FAVOR WITH MAN OR FAVOR WITH GOD
Daniel 1:9
"Now God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs."
Daniel was blessed to have a good relationship with his boss. It is God who gives a person favor with those in authority. He did it with Joseph, Esther, David (at times), and even the apostle Paul. A gentle spirit helps, but it is ultimately God who does it because He has special purposes to accomplish. God sometimes has other purposes which do not call for special favor with those over us. Favor with man must not be equated to favor with God. Just because we may not always have man's favor does not mean we are out of God's will. Remember those faithful people who have been tortured, scourged, stoned, slain, destitute, afflicted, tormented, and homeless (Hebrews 11:35-38). They had God's favor. His approval is more important than this world's favor.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: God is in control and He can give us favor with others for His purposes.
Have a favorable day. Love you.
