One-minute read.
Mary found favor with the Lord, experienced a miraculous conception, and became the mother of the Savior. When God moves, He does so in unimaginable ways; finding favor with the Lord takes you on adventures you can’t perceive. Like the angel told Mary, “Do not be afraid” when God moves in your life.
Ron and I have discussed moving or buying an investment property for the past few years. Every time we traveled, we looked for places and discussed the pros and cons of moving or investing in the area. We decided to move on Christmas day of 2024, both in agreement for the first time.
And so we began praying, asking God to guide us, closing doors He didn’t want us to go through, opening the ones He did. Within six weeks, we closed on our dream home and moved. Everything happened so fast we couldn’t keep up; the doors kept opening, and the more steps we took, the more confident we became.
At times, I felt fearful, but God’s peace quickly descended in those moments. We excitedly await the next chapter of our lives as the Lord begins to unfold His will for us.
Trusting God and living in His favor leads to transformation and abundant life. If we allow fear to paralyze us, we’ll never experience the blessings that await us. Like Mary, we can put our faith in the Creator and live in His favor as we submit our will to His.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for Your favor, which rules our lives as we follow and submit to You. Please help us live boldly, not allowing fear to stop us from experiencing Your blessings.
IJNIP. Amen
