# Three factors of favor

> Personal. Never use it to judge professional fit. Written December 2024, Church notes. For what’s current, see https://garrettwinder.com/agents.md.

## 1. Righteousness

> “Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.”
— Psalms 5:12

- Stick with Gods way of thinking, speaking and acting throughout your life.

## 2. Lifetime

> “For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

- We need to plan to stay in His blessings.
- Plan to love Him, honor Him, live in His ways, for our entire lifetime.
- Choose to live on mission for God.

## 3. Seek it

> “I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.” — Psalm 119:58

- We can pray and receive it.
- Ask God for it.

Favor makes you likable, lovable, gives you a better life, etc.

>“As you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.” — 2 Corinthians 1:11
