Psa 75:1 We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
I recently had a beautiful license-size plate made for the front of my wife’s car. Against a picture of a beautiful sunset, it says, "I’m God’s Favorite." Would you believe that some individuals are offended when they read her plate!
My friend, each and every child of God should look upon themselves as "God’s Favorite!" So I’m going to ask you, "Do you live every day as a privileged "child of God?""(Phil 2:15) If not, why not? If your daddy was the president of the United States, would you elect to live in the slums? If you father was a multi-billionaire, and willing to provide anything that you need, would you go hungry?
My friend, I’ve dropped by today to remind you that your Heavenly Father is interested in the littlest details of your life. When I go to the post office, and from down the street I observe that all the parking places are taken, and then, when I’m only a few feet away, a car pulls out, I thank God for His goodness to me.
And let’s look at this from a different view-point: I could be that just before I can pull into the parking spot, another car squeezes in ahead of me. Instead of grumbling, I should remember that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."(Rom 8:28)
And when I come out of the post office, I observe a crowd around the car that squeezed in ahead of me, because a car came careening down the street, and totally demolished the driver’s side. Yes, "all things work together for good to those who love God!"
My wife continually says, "I’m God’s favorite!" And I smile and think, "Yes you are." But the good news for every "child of God," is that every single one is His favorite! So why not live like it? Don’t take His benefits for granted; say "Thank you Father!"
My friend, if you’ll live as if "you’re God’s favorite," you’ll discover that everywhere you turn, good things happen to, and for you. You’ll find that you simply can’t run fast enough, to outrun your Heavenly Father’s favor! Unless, of course, you’re running away from Him, and that a whole different matter!
When you live as "God’s favorite," people will make exceptions, and others change their minds, and you’ll benefit. Is that just chance? Absolutely not, "you’re God’s favorite!"
Are you seemingly overwhelmed with a problem? If so, remember that "God is [your] refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore [you] will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling."(Psa 46:1-3) Yes, "you’re God’s favorite!"
You may be the son or daughter of a famous person, and good things seem to follow you around. Is it because of your earthly heritage? Definitely not, "you’re God’s favorite!" When you walk into a business establishment, someone may hold the door open for you; is it because you’re so cute? No my friend, "you’re God’s favorite!"
My wife recently stopped at Popeyes at the end of a long day. She was hungry, and she prefers white meat. As she drove up, the lady told her, "I’m sorry, we’re closing, and we only have one piece of chicken left." I’ll let you guess what kind it was. Yes, it was a breast, "white meat." Why was that? Because my wife is "God’s favorite," and so are you my friend!
No matter what happens, remember that "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."(Deu 6:5)
Remember; "you’re God’s favorite!"
