Psalm 5:12
For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour with thou compass
him as with a shield.
The
writer of this psalm is expressing in his morning prayer the blessings received
from God's favor, which is viewed as His grace, which encompasses all things.
God's favor also includes His kindness, care, love and mercy as this definition
is on daily display in God's actions toward His people. The greatest display of
God's favor is in His grace of providing salvation through His Son Jesus
Christ. God's favor continues through His longsuffering giving the unsaved time
to repent and be saved. Upon being saved, God's Spirit the Holy Spirit lives in
every believer. He is our guide, teacher, protector and bring to our
remembrance God's truths.
Believers
are blessed by God's grace in meeting all our needs according to His riches and
glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Whatever God promises He is faithful
to keep them. That said God's grace is sufficient in that during our weakest
hour is when God's strength is on display (2 Corinthians 12:9). His mercy
endures forever (Psalm 106:1). This is comforting to know because we as
believers have a God who is trustworthy, unchangeable and is always available
to answer our prayers. What a blessing it is that all believers can call on God
at the same time and never get a busy signal?
Thank
God for His favor.
