Exodus 33:17 (TLB)  “And the Lord had replied to Moses, ‘Yes, I will do what you have asked, for you have certainly found favor with me, and you are my friend.’”  What an exciting verse! When we are in the favor of God, He will not only do what we ask but we are His friend.

Exodus 33:13-15 (NIV) Moses also sought to hear from God. He climbed a mountain, fasted for forty days, and spoke to the Lord face to face.

Psalm 34:5 (NKJV) “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.“

The faces of those who stand for God are radiant with joy. We are citizens of the Kingdom for God and marked for heaven. We should be some of the happiest people on the planet! The world should see an overflowing outpouring of joy in our attitudes and actions.

Genesis 19:18-25 (NKJV)   “Then Lot said to them, ‘Please, no, my lords! Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.

We often say God’s favor is when God takes the natural and does the supernatural in a person, place, or thing that brings Honor and Glory to Him and furthers His Kingdom. Noah found favor of God and God used him supernaturally to continue the human race. That’s Favor!

Look at how the favor of God protected and prospered the Israelites in the book of Exodus. Before Moses arrived on the scene, the Egyptians viewed themselves as superior to Israelites as slaves to serve them. However, when God’s favor arrived with Moses and Aaron, the story shifts.

Numbers 32:5 (NKJV)  Therefore they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.” The children of Israel were about to cross the Jordan, began to fight, and take over the promised land.

Genesis 30:25-36 (NKJV) “And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my place and my country. Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service which I have done for you.” And Laban said to him, “Please stay if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
