You have favor

ˈfā-vər: (1): friendly regard shown toward another especially by a superior (2): approving consideration or attention : approbation b: partiality carchaic : leniency
That is one of Merriam-Webster's definition of favor. What does the bible have to say on the topic of favor for us? In Psalm 30:5 it reads, "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (NKJV) The NASB version reads, "...His favor is for a lifetime", the Message version reads, "...but across a lifetime there is only love", the NCV reads, "...but His kindness lasts for a lifetime"
A friend and I were talking about favor recently, God had shown my friend that we don't have to ask for favor, we already have favor with Him. His favor is how how He loves us, how he shows his kindness and mercy to us.
Walk in His favor today.
