The favor of God is more powerful than racism, sexism, classism, or any other “ism.” The favor of God is more powerful than what’s going on in the economy. The favor of God is more powerful than unemployment. It would be in our best interest to stop feeding on reels/news about injustices, recessions, unemployment, or any other negative circumstances because we’re building up our belief in that. And although these things may be facts, the power of God overcomes facts with Truth.

It was a fact that the doctor said that little girl would always suffer seizures. Her parents refused to declare that fact over her life and instead chose to declare the Truth of God’s Word – that by Jesus’ stripes she is healed (Isaiah 53:5). And that truth came to pass.

The Truth over our lives is, “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.” Psalms‬ ‭5‬:‭12‬. Racism, recession, and any other negative news is a fact in this fallen world. But the favor of God on our lives is more powerful than facts. Feed on favor.

Recall Joseph and even though he was unfairly released from a good position with Potiphar, he was promoted to a greater position with Pharaoh (Gen. 39-41). 

As we fix our eyes on Him and not give our attention to these negative facts, we’ll experience God’s favor like never before. 

Psalms 84:11 NIV For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
