This is the second of maybe a half dozen thoughts by Joel Osteen on victorious Christian living:

..........the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless. Psalms 84:11

    What an awesome promise--no good thing does He withhold...God wants to pour out His abundant victory and favor in your life! In Psalms 8:5, the Bible says that God has crowned us with glory and honor. Another word for honor is "favor". In other words, God has crowned us with His favor! He wants you to thrive and excel in life.

     You are a child of the Most High God. You walk in His favor each and every day--not because of who you are, but because of Whose you are! You are favored because you are a child of God and He wants you to be "favor-minded". To be favor-minded simply means that you are releasing your faith, knowing that God wants to bless you. The more favor-minded you are, the more of God's favor you're going to see! Begin to declare that you have the favor of God surrounding you, knowing God's favor will bring you to a place of peace, hope, and victory like you've never experienced before.

Father God, thank You for calling me Your child and pouring Your favor upon my every step. Help me to see Your hand of blessing, so that I may glorify You in all that I do. I receive Your favor in my life this day! Thank You for blessing me today, so that I may be a blessing to others.
