The Favor of God

Psalm 5:12 12For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.

What a beautiful word picture. The righteous are shielded with favor! Oh, how grateful I am that I am clothed in His righteousness, that I am always shielded with favor. Because every day of my life, I need God's favor. Our Ramsgate house is still on the market after many months. It has been a great faith building event this year. And I know the delay is not a delay to Him at all. I know He has a plan and a purpose in all things. Even this thing. This very hard thing... that touches your money. Ahem, HIS money. Yes, health and money, those two seem to be some of the hardest things to deal with. To continue in faith, in trust. Health and money have been joining hands together this year for a double dose of faith building. Like having to do the elliptical and StairMaster simultaneously. Right! See what I mean? It doesn't even sound possible. But today, I'm just thinking, it must be the shield thing. God's gracious favor shielding us with extra faith, extra peace, extra rest and extra money to make this kind of workout possible. Thank you God for shielding me with your favor.
