b'Be submitted \\n\\nEsther shows us how submission brings favor. She didn\\u2019t take matters into her own hands. This is an ingredient to receiving favor. She exemplified submission, humility and confidence in God and won the favor of everyone who saw her. \\n\\n\\u201cWhen the turn came for Esther to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king\\u2019s eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested.\\u201d\\xa0(Esther 2:15) \\n Be humble/have humility \\n\\nThrough her humility Esther received immediate care and attention, provision, the best place, helpers, assistants and attendants. Furthermore, her favor created favor for all around her. Through our humility, let\\u2019s create an atmosphere of favor in our lives that can overflow to others. \\n\\n\\u201cGod resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.\\u201d\\xa0(1 Peter 5:5) \\n\\n Be honest \\n\\nHonesty is a key to favor. Joseph found favor with Potiphar because he could be trusted. \\n\\n\\u201cThe Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him.\\u201d\\xa0(Proverbs 11:1) \\n\\n\\u201cJoseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.\\u201d\\xa0(Genesis 39) \\n\\n Get Wisdom \\n \\nWisdom is a key to favor. As\\xa0Solomon makes clear in the Book of Proverbs. \\n\\n\\u201cFor those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.\\u201d\\xa0(Proverbs 8:35)\\n\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support'
