‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:3‭-‬4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation.
‭‭
We want the favor. We want God raising up someone to use their power, ability, and influence to help us. We confess favor, we think favor, and we expect favor. That’s good, but there’s a prerequisite. Loyalty and kindness are the prerequisites of favor.

We can’t expect all this favor and then turn around and be disloyal to our family members and mean to our friends. Favor won’t come when we consistently choose our friends above our family. Favor won’t come when we gossip about our friend’s love life. We can’t expect favor on our jobs when we cheat the company of time. We shouldn’t expect favor if we’re rude to the waiter.

Loyalty and kindness are what’s needed if we should expect favor to come. Let’s be loyal and kind to all.
