Regardless of whether God favors us over the angels or vice versa, we all function in this world in preparation for the eternal life we are to live in paradise. The most important factor is that we have to become believers in order for God to favor us. With favor comes blessings, that is the truth about God's favor. When we give as much as we can give in honor of God, that's how much favor we will receive in return.
I often reflect on this when God shows me favor by blessing some of the things I desire that is of course in line with His will. I ask myself why it is someone who is so undeserving could be favored by God so much? I realized that the more I keep His Word and obey Him, the more God keeps His word to me.
Walking in love is one of the things He looks upon us to do. Walking in love sets aside what is prideful, hurtful, and other negative feelings we have towards another, especially to those who have hurt us. The greatest return we can give is to love those who do even when we think they don't deserve it. After all, God offered to us the same courtesy, and He is God! He could be the God of the old testament when everytime we offend Him, the punishment is definitely a learning experience, just like Sodom and Gomorrah, Cain, etc. When we walk in love, we glorify God because Jesus didn't stutter when He left us with that commandment. God is to be worshipped, served and obeyed. When we treat Him with respect, and do whatever He asks of us, favor comes to us. And not just any old favor, it is the supernatural kind. The kind of favor that when you mull about it, there is no denying that He had the hand in it all.
What is stopping you from being favored by God? He will easily dispense those supernatural favors to you if you are able to please Him. It's an easy task if you only want to sincerely be one of His favorites!
Until my next rant....
