Day 1 The Gift of Favor

“Favor is not earned—it’s inherited.” —Dr. Daniel LeBlanc

Scripture:

“For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.” —Psalm 5:12 (NKJV)

Devotional Thought:

From the moment you said yes to Jesus, the favor of Heaven was released over your life. You are not fighting for God’s attention—you already have it. You are not trying to deserve blessings—they were purchased for you at the cross. Favor isn’t something God gives on your best days; it’s the posture of His heart toward you every day. Many believers think favor is something reserved for a few anointed people or tied to perfect performance. But Psalm 5:12 reminds us that favor is a shield—a divine covering God places around the righteous. And righteousness is not something you earned. It’s a gift from Jesus.

So if you are in Christ, then you are already favored. Favor is not something you wait for—it’s something you walk in. It surrounds you. It covers you. It precedes you into every conversation, every appointment, and every battle. Favor is not earned—it’s inherited. You don’t have to beg for it. You simply need to believe you’re already carrying it. Once you shift your mindset from striving to receiving, you’ll begin to see favor manifest all around you—in opportunities, in protection, in relationships, and in provision.

Reflection:

• What would shift in your mindset if you truly believed favor was always present?

•Have you limited favor to big breakthroughs, or do you see it in the daily flow of life?

Declaration:

I decree that I am surrounded by the favor of God. It is not seasonal or situational—it is supernatural and constant. I walk in divine appointments, open doors, and unexpected blessings because I am favored.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for surrounding me with Your favor. Help me recognize it, celebrate it, and expect it in every area of my life. I declare that Your favor goes before me, and I receive it with gratitude. In Jesus’ name, amen.
