THEME: PRINCIPLE OF FAVOR
Psalms 5:12 NKJV
“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”
INSIGHT
–These scriptures outline the value of God’s favor that is not just a temporary blessing, but a constant protection that surrounds us like a shield that stems from the fear of the Lord. The word surround is āṭar in Hebrew which means to be covered, protected, honored and crowned. Therefore, since the Lord has made us His righteousness through His salvation, He surrounds us and crowns us with His favor. As we set our hearts to live righteously, which is how we have been crafted, leaning into God’s will, we can rest, trusting that His favor will always be with us because we belong to Him.
PRAYER
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts. Our souls long, yes, even faints for Your courts Lord. Our heart and flesh cry out for You our living God. As the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young at Your altars, O Lord of hosts, we desire to be in Your presence always our King and God. We desire more and more of You, may Your favor overflow upon us, our families, communities, and nation. Blessed are those who dwell in Your house, we will still be praising You. Lord You are a sun and shield. Lord You bestow favor and honor; no good thing do You withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Lord Almighty, blessed is the one who trusts in You. May You pour out restoration, pour out healing, pour out favor, pour out blessings upon us. May You supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Amen
Blessed Thursday
