By this I know that you favor me, because my enemy does not triumph over me. – Psalm 41:11
Many times, favour is defined by the good things that happen to you:
the parents you were born to, how tall/short/fat/thin you are, where you went to school, the opportunities you were given, the “lucky break” you got from years of preparation meeting a unique opportunity etc
But a more powerful lens for viewing favour is by looking at all the bad things that should have happened to you, but didn’t.
In other words: the presence of a powerful enemy who failed to defeat you is a more powerful testimony than the presence of friends and allies who celebrate you.
Never being involved in an accident is one thing. Continually being involved in accidents where you keep surviving is…something else.
Never being abused is one thing. Enduring abuse for years and surviving numerous failed attempts on your life…is evidence of “a Higher power” (God) watching out for you despite the odds against you.
Usually Satan tries to wrap you up in guilt, shame or self-chasitisement when these moments happen…getting you to blame yourself for being involved in a bad situation, instead of celebrating God for delivering you out of it again.
The real testimony of favour is the long list of things that should have killed you, but didn’t.
You are favoured. Now walk like you believe it.
