…Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:7
- JANUARY 15 -
GOD GIVES YOU UNDESERVED PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT
When you fly first class in an airplane, the cabin crew gives you
first-class treatment. They ask you, “Is everything okay with you, sir?”
They ask you what magazines you want to read. They give you a blanket
if you are cold. They give you the best kinds of food. They give you
preferential treatment compared to those traveling in economy class.
The grace of God is defined as “undeserved, unearned and unmerited
favor”. And one of the definitions for favor is “preferential
treatment”! Today, God wants you to know that you have His favor on you.
He wants you to know that He gives you preferential treatment which you
do not deserve. And He wants you to depend on and take full advantage
of it in your life.
God also wants you to know that His favor in your life can be
increased. You can experience more of His favor from day to day. How?
The Bible tells us in 2 Peter 1:2 that God’s grace (or favor) is
multiplied to us “in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord”. The
more you behold Jesus and His love for you, the more you believe and
confess that God’s favor is on you, the more you will see His favor work
for you.
So if you are a doctor, you will find patients favoring you and you
will have more patients than you can handle. If you are a businessman,
you will find people just wanting to do business with you because they
like you and feel good about you. Then, you will have more business than
you can handle and you will need to plan for expansion!
When the favor of God shines on your church, you will find its premises
too small for the people who queue up week after week to attend the
services! So when people wonder and ask, “What is happening here?” you
can tell them, “It is the favor of God multiplied all over us!” And it
is all undeserved, unearned and unmerited!
