You are in God's favor--share!! Proverbs 8:34-35


Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
   Do you ever read the sentences above?  GOD is GOOD......what?  ALL THE TIME!   Because God is good---then--you--I--we are blessed.  Blessed by whom?  GOD!!  So, should we be stressed?  Worry?  As I told my wife, who reminds me, worry is like shoveling smoke. Smoke is only stirred around, but it does absolutely no good to shovel smoke.
   Proverbs 8:34-35  "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.  For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the LORD."
    As a young child most of us would listen (kinda) to our parents, and we would watch and wait for mom or dad to return home.  Why?  Because mom and dad loved us and favored us and we delighted in them.
   Should not this be the way we are with the LORD?  We are God's favored, He gave us a gift of which there is no greater -- HE sacrificed HIS SON for YOU!
   We have obtained favor from the LORD.  Just as you give favor to your family, friends, neighbors, strangers.  If someone needs help--you assist (give favor to).  As you look around, see the "favor" God has blessed you with--share this favor with others.  It may be assistance on the side of the road, a hearty "good job" or "atta boy"; maybe a meal or a 5, 10, or 20 dollar gift.  Most of all, be cognizant of an opportunity to share the greatest gift, the good news of salvation--JESUS CHRIST.
    During this wonderful CHRISTmas season, may you find ways to share your blessings with others. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
