Favour

Defined as a noun:
1. an approving attitude; good will
2. an act performed out of good will, generosity, or mercy
 
I have been reading alot about favour recently and wanted to document this here.
 
We are said to all be blessed with God's favour.
 
So I referred to the Bible for further definition...
 
Isaiah 49:8 - This is what the Lord says: "In the time of my favour I will answer you, and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign its desolate inheritances." (NIV)

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 - As God's fellow-workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says, "In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation. (NIV)

I was told God has our lives planned out and we are in his favour. He has a plan for us. Does this cause us to be at the right place at the right time? Does this mean we can meet the right people?

What does God’s exact plan for my life look like? Is it a large flowchart of uncertain events, that are required to be played out. It is written “He knows the people you're going to need to fulfill your destiny and has it all figured out.”

So he is in control and he places me in the right place at the right time. He will bring to me the tools, resources and people at the right time and this plan will unfold. I would think this also involves some things I may not want, for only He knows what is good for me.

I will walk into my moments of favor. Faith and Trust.
