The word Favor often is translated “mercy”
but also can be translated“womb.” This gives
us insight into the “favor” of God, for the womb
is the place where our lives begin. It is a place
of comfort, rest, and security. In the womb, each
babyis totally dependent on the mother.
The mother carries all the burdens and
responsibilities, and she must provide all the
food and protection. The baby only can rest and
trust.This helps us understand what the Bible means
by favor. Walking in God’s favor means recognizing
what He does for us and how much we must depend on
Him. It means realizing that our lives are in His
hands.
Receiving God’s favor begins with recognition that
He is our Creator,the God of the whole Universe.
It requires awareness thatin order to experience
success, happiness, joy, peace, contentment,
and fulfillment,we truly depend upon Him.
