Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional 9th December 2017 – Joyce Meyer
Topic: God’s Supernatural Favor
Key Verse: The beginning of strife is as when water first trickles [from a crack in a dam]; therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarreling breaks out. – Proverbs 17:14
MESSAGE: There is a distinction between natural favor and supernatural favor. Natural favor must be earned, but supernatural favor is a gracious gift from God.
READ: Living Life Free of Strife – Joyce Meyer
First Samuel 2:7 says, The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up. A perfect example of this is found in the life of Esther. God raised her up out of obscurity to become the queen of the entire land. He gave her favor with everyone she met, including the king.
Esther drew upon that favor to save herself and her people from being murdered by Haman, who was an evil man. She may have been afraid to go to the king and ask him to intervene, but Esther knew she had favor with God and pressed on with complete confidence in Him.
Like Esther, we should live with the freedom and liberty that comes from living in God’s favor. Regardless of the circumstances that come into your life, believe God for supernatural favor.

Despite how hopeless things may seem, God can lift you up. If your life is in His hands, the light of the Lord shines upon you.
PRAYER: God, I don’t rely on natural favor. Instead, I want to live in Your supernatural favor. With my life in Your hands, I know You can lift me up. Amen!
