A Word About Life and Things


           

 

Favor

            There was a young lady who had lost her job. She applied for jobs at many places, but was turned down many times. The interviews she went to, she thought she was the front runner, but was turned down again. This happened four times. She applied for a job in another city and was asked to come for an interview. She got a taxi at the airport and the driver asked her how her day was going? She got to talking to him and explained about the interview. She said how much she was looking forward to getting the job and many other things. That afternoon the same taxi driver picked up the lady who gave the interview to the lady the taxi driver had dropped off that morning. The taxi driver asked her how her day was going? She explained that she had to catch a plane for a meeting in another city. She also said the she had interviewed a man and a woman for a job and did know which one to pick. The taxi driver said that he knew which one to pick. The lady asked how he knew? He explained how he took the lady to the interview that morning. He said that she would not find a better person. She’s smart, she’s talented, she’s articulate and she wants to work for you. He went on and on singing her praises. The lady said “you know what, I just made my decision.” When she called the lady, she said “if you see that taxi driver again, you need to thank him. He’s the reason I chose you.”

      When we have God’s favor He will make our paths straight and He will remove the obstacles that are in our way. We have the blessings that God gives to those who obey his commandants. Many times we want to follow our own paths and expect God to bless us. There are many things that God wants to give us. He gives us salvation, the desires of our heart, and He gives us His blessings, and to those who curses us He will also curse. He will fight our battles for us. The only thing we have to do is put our trust in Him and obey His commandants. Then we have His favor and He will make our way straight. Our God will give us greatly more than what we ask of Him.
