Blessing for April 23rd 2008

About Naphtali he said: "Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord and is full of his blessing; he will inherit southward to the lake." (Deuteronomy 33:23)

How great it is to be abounding with favor of the Lord.
In the book of Esther we read of the King thrice telling Esther:

"What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you." (Esther 5:3)

As they were drinking wine, the king again asked Esther, "Now what is your petition? It will be given you. And what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted." (Esther 5:6)

and as they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again asked, "Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted." (Esther 7:2)

Esther had found favor in the kings eyes, so he wanted to give her whatever she asked for.

And to those who believe in Jesus and are living for him, Jesus says,
"Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." (Luke 12:32)
Praise the Lord!
