While You Were Sleeping

In the past I've shared some of my conversations with God here on Daily Favor.

Actually, one where I talked about "Morning" was some time ago when I discussed that it's God's will for us to enjoy our day. 

Being able to bless His children daily with mercy enables us to joyfully carry out the plan of God on our lives.

After I say good morning to the Lord, I often begin quoting scriptures back to Him as I open my prayers with thanksgiving.  The first verse I like to say aloud reminds me of how blessed I am to be alive!  It's not an exact citation, but rephrased for me so that I will take action in bringing a postitve spirit to all I will encounter that day.

"This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." (from Psalm 118:24)

Continuing I praise the Lord saying phrases like this:

"In the morning I will direct my prayer to You for in Your favor there is life.  Evening, morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud; You will hear my voice and answer before I've finished my sentence. (... and He often does.) 

Great is Your faithfulness Heavenly Father. My hope is in You and for the new mercies that await me today."

One time in prayer, immediately after I said "new mercies" the Lord interrupted my praise and said, "New Favor!"  New favor is available every morning.

While I was sleeping new favor was being positioned for that day. It wasn't left over favor or mercy!  God was faithful to supply brand new mercy and favor for whatever I might need that day.

Even with all the mercy God bestowed on His children the previous day, months and years, it isn't used up or consumed. There is still plenty of daily mercy ... daily favor ... to go around for all God's children because His love never fails, nor does He renege on His promises.  

“It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore, will I hope in Him.” (Lamentations 3:22-24 NKJV)

While you and I are asleep, God is awake positioning the new mercies and favor in place.  We can rest peacefully knowing that whether we wake here on Earth or in Heaven, God's mercy is always present. 

Recognizing God as our portion (meaning He is the One in whom our soul finds refuge), our hope in Him is showered with "Checed ...chesed ... Kheh'shed" - which is kind favor!

Friend, I want you to be encourage that no matter what the past, yesterday or even today has held for you, there's a new day of favor in the making for you while you are sleeping.  Take refuge (rest, comfort) in the Lord when you go to bed every night, knowing that something good from God will be waiting for you in the morning!  

Until next time, Favored Blessings
