These promises are indeed wonderful and worthy of our attention, but they were merely a shadow of things to come. They need to be viewed through the lens of the NEW Covenant, where their fulfillment is even more powerful. The Old Testament is about a VISITATION relationship with God. Jesus' life and death fulfilled the terms of the Mosaic Covenant. His resurrection introduced the NEW and better Covenant (Heb 8:6). We live in a HABITATION Covenant - Father put Jesus in me and put me into Jesus! We are new creations; the old man is dead (Rom 6). In Christ, we were given "us all things that pertain to life and godliness." (2Pet 1:3) The Holy Spirit teaches us to abide in Jesus so that we can "grow up into Him in ALL things, which is the head, even Christ" (Eph 4:15).

Love the idea of God’s “favor” because it’s rarely transactional. It’s simply unmerited generosity, born out of love. It allows us to see that our God does not see us as slaves, or employees, but truly as His CHILDREN. How lucky are we to be adopted into His family and receive not only His blessing, but His favor as well? DB
