“And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.” Luke 1:28
Sometimes God’s favor presents itself as an undesirable situation. For Mary, God’s favor meant that she would be an unwed, pregnant teen mother whose financé was ready to divorce her. To most people, this would seem like the opposite of what God intended, but it was exactly how God chose to bring about salvation in the world.
If God has favored you to do something great, don’t be discouraged if things seem to be going the opposite of what you thought. That may be an indication that you’re on track to something great!
