100 Days Of Favor

Do you want the steak dinner or the bag of peanuts? In his book here Joseph prince is giving us deep things to reflect on. They are the spiritual truths that will help us reflect each day on the goodness of God. God is offering us a steak dinner and most of us want a bag of peanuts. In the book he gives us the thoughts that God has towards us. It is set up in short  lesson form with a prayer and a thought to meditate upon during the day. These lessons each day will help us to draw closer into the love and blessings of God. So for the next 100 days of our lives he invites us to sit at  the feet of Jesus and learn by the Spirit of God what is being said to he children of God.

He gives us contrast between living by the law to where all is dependent upon ourselves and upon grace which is given us by the finished work of Christ. Back to the steak or peanuts. The reflections are meant to help us not mix a little bit of the law and grace, they are like oil and water, they don't mix. We are so programmed to believe if we have had a good day with no sin in our day then we are able to expect good things from God. If we have not been so perfect then we don't believe God will love us and do for us. As he states in the book the best under the law fail and the worst can come to Jesus. So let us take a few moments each day and read a chapter and apply it to our lives for that day. It will have us looking to Jesus and what He has done for us to be blessed and favored of God, and not what we can do to be favored. It has already been done at the cross, so let us just believe it with our hearts.

I do believe that each and every child of God can benefit from this book and if taken in each day it will help us to truly see what God has planned for our lives. The title headings for the day have much impact and excitement in them. It is a must read for the christian seeking the favor of God.
