Connect with Others’ Favor

May 28, 2021

Today’s Scripture

Proverbs 1:5, ESVLet the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.

Today’s Word

When we see people who are more successful and more blessed than us, it’s easy to get jealous, try to compete, discredit them, and talk about what they’re doing wrong and how they’re not talented. Here’s a key: If you can’t celebrate other people’s success, you will never get to where they are. If you get jealous and try to outperform them, or if you’re intimidated by them, you’ll get stuck. It’s a test. God brings these favor connections across our path. Are you secure enough in who you are to honor them, to learn from them, to cheer them on, or will your pride keep you from connecting with their favor? Don’t be small-minded. Swallow your pride and sow respect into that supervisor or colleague who’s really talented. God put them there as a favor connection. As you connect to them, new doors and new levels will open for you. New talents will come out. They are instrumental in you reaching the fullness of your destiny.

Prayer for Today

Father, thank You for the people whom You’ve brought into my life to recognize, to respect, and to connect with. Help me to be wise and honor them, sow into them, learn from them, and partner with them. I believe that You are taking me higher. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
