Proverbs 12:2 “A good man obtains favor from the Lord, But a man of wicked intentions He will condemn.”
When asked what one might desire the most from God I answer you want His FAVOR! His favor speaks of His anointing – His blessings – His power. Proverbs 12:2 tells us a good man who is doing what is good both in character and contribution receives God’s favor. God’s favor gives to the good man the ability to do more than he could do by himself.
On the other hand, a wicked man will find God against him. This thought is conveyed numerous times in Proverbs. For instance here are a few verses:
Proverbs 3:33 The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just.
Proverbs 10:3 The LORD will not allow the righteous soul to famish, But He casts away the desire of the wicked.
Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
Proverbs 10:28 The hope of the righteous [will be] gladness, But the expectation of the wicked will perish.
Proverbs 10:30 The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not inhabit the earth.
Proverbs 15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But He loves him who follows righteousness.
We are admonished to not be wicked and to stay away from the wicked;
Proverbs 4:14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, And do not walk in the way of evil.
Today put Proverbs 11:27 into action and “earnestly seeks good and you will find favor, knowing that trouble will come to him who seeks evil.
Be good and do good for God and experience His favor,
Continue Strong with His Favor,
And Remember to Date the Word
