Meditate On
For they [God’s people] did not gain
possession of the land by their own sword, nor did their own arm save them; but
it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, because
You favored them.
Psalm 44:3
The
Race Is Not To The Swift
The world tells you that those with the
qualifications, talents and experience get the jobs, promotions and high
salaries.
My friend, though you live in this world,
as God’s beloved child, you need not be limited by it. You have God’s favor—His
unmerited, unearned, undeserved grace! Ecclesiastes 9:11 tells us, “The race is
not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong...” This means that even if you
are not the smartest, strongest, most knowledgeable or best looking in the
natural, God can still give you good success when you depend on His grace. It
is His right hand, His arm and His favor that provide for you, fight for you,
defend you and give you increase.
So instead of mulling over your
“disqualifications”, be conscious of God’s favor on you. Smile and say, “God’s
favor is all over me because of Jesus. I expect good things to happen to me
today!” Beloved, be conscious of His favor. Believe it. Confess it. And you
will experience it!
