Ruth 3-4: Ps 64-65; 2 Cor 6

Scripture - 2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

Observation - Paul is making proclamation that today is the day. If God's favor was ever on His people it is today. He is opening up the door of salvation to all that would come in. Today is the day. We constantly wait for God's timing and for His favor to point us in the right direction. Today is the day God has called. We must not wait. Paul is telling the fellow workers of Corinth not to waste what God has done. Done take grace in vain. It is for a purpose. God says that in a time of favor - He is listening to us. Our requests can be made know to him. He will answer. In time of favor salvation will come easy. People will be hungry for the heavenly meal and take part in God's divine plan.

Application - Today is the day. Everything has aligned in God's plan for today. We can't take His grace in vain. He has given favor today for today. We must seize every opportunity today. We are a favored people, walking in favor and occupying the place of God's purpose. We can see the doors of opportunity opening and God's favor upon His people. To take the land and claim righteousness throughout the land. God will be glorified.

Prayer - Father help us to take this day of favor and to expand the borders of your kingdom today.
