What is God's blessing AND His favor

God’s blessings and God’s favors are not the same things. But if you want to receive God's blessings, you should seek His favor.

God's blessing is something He freely gives us: the ability to do what we were created to do, the gifts and talents that make it possible to accomplish our dreams, and the presence of the Holy Spirit within us.

God's favor, on the other hand, is given only upon request. And we have to make that request with humility; it’s never something we can demand or claim for ourselves. When we seek God’s favor, we're asking Him for His help in accomplishing something that is beyond what our gifts or talents could allow us to do on our own.

I think about Joseph in the Old Testament—sold into slavery by his brothers, unjustly imprisoned for years, eventually becoming second-in-command over all of Egypt. How did he get there?

Through God's blessing AND His favor.
