FAITH CAPSULE: In the mercy of God, there is His favor.

Genesis 19

God is a good God.
God is a perfect God.
God oversees the affairs of all.
Revelation 4:11 identifies God, “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
God is a caring God that will not look away from His children.
It is foolish not to know that God hears and sees all.
Psalm 94:9 points out the understanding, “He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?”
God hears and sees, not to ignore the cries before Him. God answers with yes, no, or wait.
God is a merciful God, and mercy belongs to Him alone.
In His mercy is His favor.
God told Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” (Romans 9:15)
God is a merciful God.
Finding God with favor will encounter His deliverance,
Lot found favor of God for deliverance.
LOT AND THE INCREASED MERCY OF GOD
Lot received the message of deliverance to escape untimely death.
The challenge of Lot at the land of sin and iniquity (Sodom and Gomorrah) demands an escape.
In the plan of God to escape, Lot lingered, not moving as commanded.
Indeed, Lot realized and testified in Genesis 19:19, “Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life…”
Ask that for the remainder of this year, you find favor in the sight of God and not be a victim of sin and iniquity.
Lot found favor before God and could not be a victim of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Lot delayed the command of God to deliver him, but the favor of God delivered him.  
Mary could have been a victim of fear not to become the mother of Jesus, but she found favor from God. Luke 1:30, “Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.”
Pray against the spirit of the fear of this word not having a place in your life to miss in the divine assignment of God in life.
In the Book of Ruth 2:10, Ruth testifies to having found favor in the eyes of God and being noticed by God.
Ask God for His favor to notice your crying and bring you out of all forces militating against your life.
Lot found favor that delivered increased mercy of God for his deliverance. (Genesis 19:19)

Prayer for today:  Ask for the favor of God that will grant you increased mercy and not become a victim of doubt or reluctance to obey the word of God for deliverance and preservation.
Ask that this month and the coming month, the mercy of God will answer for you to gain the presence of God over your life in all your endeavors.
