Walking In High Favor

Among my people, elders frequently respond to the question “How are you?” with something along the lines of “I’m blessed.” I believe in something a bit different. I believe I was created in His image and as such I’m destined for a life of superlatives.

With that being said, I choose to believe I’m walking in high favor. Blessed is supremely favored or fortunate while favor is excessive kindness or unfair partiality. Or better yet, preferential treatment. That’s a bunch better than what I’ve heard most of my life, at least for me that’s true. It’s one thing to have something as a past tense and have it happened before but for me what’s needed at this moment is the constant reminder that I’m His favorite. That no matter what I get preferential treatment. The challenge is to remember, believe, and act as if that’s truly the case every moment, every minute.

Today, Thursday, August 22, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m walking in High favor. I’ll not repeat what I wrote earlier.

I’m currently in Dumaguete. It’s a quaint small town south of Cebu. Not a single traffic signal in sight, about 50,000 people. It’s exactly what’s needed at this point in time. Having completed my last book, I felt I needed an opportunity to get away from my routine and set forth with another period of examination. Reflect and reevaluate the progress I’ve made since arriving in the country and plot out my next course of action.

I’m feeling a bit more recharged. I wasn’t aware of the mental toll finishing the last book had taken. Last night I slept for about 9 hours, typically it’s about 5 or 6. I also took a nap for about an hour and a half too. So, although I’d been doing the same things it had become necessary to stop and rest for a bit. That’s the reason for the trip. Take some time, make any needed course corrections, and move forward once again with the vigor and belief I am truly living and walking in High Favor.

Know You Are His Favorite. Be Impactful!
