SCRIPTURE
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield (Psalm 5:12).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
There are few things that boost one’s confidence like the feeling of being appreciated, accepted, and at times celebrated. No one likes the feeling of trying to accomplish something only to encounter closed doors and denials. We want to experience favor, but the good news is that we as believers already have favor with God! When we live for God, seek Him, and strive to do His will, God’s promise is that He will surround our life with favor. That means He will set you up in the right circumstances and put the right people in your path who will grant you a place of appreciation and celebration. When you are favored, doors are opened that you can’t always explain, blessings come that surprise you, and often people who were against you suddenly change their position. Believe God as you make your declaration today that you are surrounded with a mighty shield and that you are marked for favor!
