Seasons of Favor

Written by Andrea Debruin

Favor is inevitable when walking in step with the Father. Jesus experienced the favor of God immediately after He was baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Father spoke an affirming and grounding word to Him saying:

“You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” (Luke 3: 22)

Favor can be defined as being chosen as a child of God. In being adopted into God’s family, as a son or a daughter, there is complete access to the throne of mercy and grace.

One well-known woman in the Bible experienced an extraordinary season of favor: Hadassah or more commonly referred to as Esther. A Jew, in a foreign land, Esther was chosen to be Queen of Persia, which gave her influence to save her entire race from genocide.
