One day, an old friend approached me and said, “Mike French, you are walking in the fog.”
Instantly, I assumed he meant I had a foggy brain, but he clarified that “fog” symbolized walking in the favor of God.
You see, some people have a slight level of God’s favor in their lives and are content with it, fearing the accountability that comes with more.
Then there are those at a moderate level, but for me, I desire to walk in the abundant favor of God.
Yet, to walk in God’s favor, I must grasp certain truths.
Firstly, my personal growth is intricately linked to change, which will manifest the essence of His image in my life.
Sadly, we live in a culture where we attempt to mold Jesus to fit our expectations and image. Whenever Jesus doesn’t align with our thoughts, feelings, or actions, we seek to alter Him. However, the Bible teaches that we are the ones to be changed from glory to glory into His image.
Many of us remain confined by fear of change, hesitating to embrace God’s call to step out into the unknown.
Perhaps it’s the discomfort, fear of the unknown outcome, or the prospect of solitude that holds us back.
Yet, we need not fear, for God’s favor rests upon us. Where He leads, He provides.
Often, as we step out in faith, we witness God showering blessings, provision, and kindness upon us through various means, all because of His favor.
God employs anyone or anything to ensure our well-being, sometimes merely to demonstrate His love for us. Therefore, when someone extends kindness or generosity, let us recognize it as a manifestation of God’s favor.
Let us not shrink from change, for in it lies the favor of God.
