I read in proverbs that a good man has favor from God. That is so awesome. Favor is such a blessing from God. Favor can come in all ways. I thank God for his favor with a good parking spot. My one sister commented one time that every time we are together I get a good spot. It was also a little testimony for God. So He uses all situations. That is how neat He is and also how involved He is. He is with us in all situations and that is comfort to me. He wants be a part of our daily lives and work. Keep Him in the center of it all and you will succeed. I remember when I first started dating my husband he was reading a small book that changed his life and it was titled, "The Prayer of Jabez". It comes from the bible, book 1 Chronicles 4:10. The prayer is composed of four parts. First, Jabez asks God to bless him. Second, he asks God to enlarge his territory or increase his responsibility. Third he prays that God will be with him and stay close. Lastly he asks God to keep him from harm so he will be free from pain. Jabez knew what many did not. And today the same holds true. So if I can help anyone in a small way share the truth just as Jabez did and save someone from a life of wrong choices and failures, than I will do all that I can to do just that.
"And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me. And God granted him that which he requested."
