He favours me

..."for thou hast found favour with God." Luke 1:30

On Friday last, while driving home and listening to music from a local gospel station, I heard a song being played that captured my thoughts and really began to resonate in my spirit. I recalled the intoduction spoke of a 'tesimony' and the repeated phrase 'God favours me'. I could not recall hearing the song before, but realised I wanted to listen to it some more.

Later on in the evening, I searched for it on youtube and listened to it over and over. I really began to rejoice and worship as I could identify with this testimony in song. My spirit was really refreshed and the Lord reminded me of the experience of Mary when she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus. The angel announced the favour of God and following this Mary worshipped through the Magnificat recorded in Luke 1:46-55.

The Magnificat is a wonderful song of worship to one who indeed has favourd us. It was an awesome worship experience for me. But the enemy tried to attack. On my way to church on Sunday, while driving into the parking lot, a lady reversed right into my car, on my side.

I ended up spending the next three hours on processing and police meeting because she refused to take responsibility despite the overwhelming evidence of her being at fault. What did I do? I continued to rejoice knowing that I am still under God's favour. I could rejoice and sing...GOD BLOCKED IT...my life was spared.

Friends, a deep recognition of God's favour allows us to continue trusting, no matter what. Some things may be diffcult but God who 'is mighty hath done to me great things'-Luke 1:49.
