The favor of God

We have enjoyed the favor of God, my family and I. I love that phrase, "the favor of God," because for most of us it means some certain level of comfort, money, security, and things like that. But what if God decides that He needs to help us develop character? Or that we need to drop a few possessions along the way so that we may more fully focus on Him, on others, or on a Holy lifestyle? What if we simply are bogged down by a love of money and things, or what if our security (faith) begins to be derived from our income or our bank account instead of God himself?

These are all good questions - don't you think?

Exodus 32:11
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God. "O LORD," he said, "why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
