1 Samuel 25:8KJV
Consider these passages on favour not as mere records of divine preference, but as profound invitations to understand the nature of God's disposition towards humanity. This divine favour, distinct from worldly fortune, is often a grace extended to those who walk in humility, seek wisdom, and live justly. It is a state of being where one aligns with the divine current, finding purpose and protection not through striving alone, but through receptive obedience. To contemplate these verses is to gaze into a mystery: why does grace alight here and not there? It is not for us to dissect its mechanism fully, but rather to recognize its power, its call to integrity, and its transformative potential in both our interior life and our interactions with the world. Let reflection on these truths cultivate a spirit open to receive, yet equally dedicated to living a life worthy of such unmerited kindness.
