(Psa 5:11 KJV) But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. (Psa 5:12 KJV) For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
Those who trust the Lord are compassed about with favor as a shield; living daily under the shield of God’s favor. God’s favor is His delight, His pleasure, His goodwill. To be favored is to be treated with preference, with special advantages. What an awesome privilege is afforded to those who trust in God. We are surrounded with His favor, under the shield of the delight and pleasure of the all mighty God … surrounded by His favor, by His delight, by His goodwill toward us. God looks down with favor, with delight, with pleasure, on those who love Him. To live in God’s favor is to lack nothing, to fear nothing. Trust Him. There is no safer or better place to be….purpose to live in His favor.
