Show Notes

Today’s episode continues to reflect on the profound truth of being “highly favored,” a theme central to the Christmas story and the life of every believer. Through the narratives of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others, we see how God’s favor is not bound by status or merit but is a demonstration of His grace and purpose. The message of Christmas extends beyond the nativity, reminding us that we too are highly favored through salvation, adoption, peace, and joy made possible by Jesus’ birth.

 

As we prepare to enter a new year, the devotional encourages us to live with the confidence of those who are deeply loved by God. Challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties are inevitable, yet they do not diminish God’s favor. Instead, these moments offer opportunities to grow in faith and trust. Through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit, we are equipped to face fear and doubt, walking forward with courage and purpose.

 

The new year invites us to fully embrace our identity as God’s highly favored children. Living in this truth means seeing life through the lens of His promises, pursuing our divine calling, and extending His love to others. No matter what lies ahead, we are called to stand firm in faith, anchored by the assurance that God’s love and favor are with us in every season.
