Synopsis

Are you experiencing the favor of God? If you are in need of God's blessing, Ronnie Floyd's inspirational study of favor in the Bible will reveal the help God offers and the path to receive it.

Are you boldly asking God for favor? Floyd, a pastor of 40 years and former President of the Southern Baptist Convention, writes to motivate you to passionately seek the favor of God for yourself because the favor of God can accomplish jaw-dropping miracles. If you need blessings and miracles in your life, don't wait to ask God for favor.

Is pursuing the favor of God wrong? Pastor Ronnie Floyd warns that you will not be able to maximize your life without finding the favor of God. Throughout the Bible, God reveals the great blessings and assignments that follow humility before God and obedience to Him. Proverbs 3:3-4 encourages us to always live truthful and kind lives so we will "find favor and good success in the sight of God and man." This Bible study resource will nourish your view of God and inform your prayers.

What does it mean to find and enjoy the favor of God? Floyd teaches the meaning of favor from the original languages of the Bible and reveals these biblical benefits of favor with God:

• Those who receive God's favor also receive "honor," along with the promise, "He does not withhold good from those who live with integrity."
• God's favor firmly establishes the work of a person's hands.
• God's favor helps us endure tough times.
• God's favor protects "the righteous" like a shield.
• God's favor translates to great power in prayer.
• God's favor turns even one's enemies into unexpected allies.

According to Floyd, "Those who have tasted God's favor can never get enough of that favor. So they pray for it, hope for it, and look for it. They do so not because they deserve it, but because they know God is gracious."

This biblically sound, life-changing spiritual growth resource can be used in personal devotions, group Bible study, and church-wide Bible teaching. The purposeful study of this book and implementation of its proposed practices should cause a great revival of personal devotion to our faithful and generous God. Taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8) and join Him in bringing His kingdom to earth in your heart, home, community and ultimately the nations.

Review

Finding the Favor of God is not a blessing Ronnie Floyd writes about in the third person. He has found the favor of God by beating out on the anvil of personal experience a lifetime of integrity in ministry. Who doesn't want the favor of God? This volume is for anyone anywhere who has discovered that it is greater to be a blessing than to get a blessing. Read it and reap!
