5-Day Devotional - Day Two

Divine Doors: Part Two
Pastor Paul Stieb

Day 2: Surrounded by Favor Devotional Imagine walking through life completely surrounded by an invisible shield—a protective barrier that not only guards you, but also attracts blessings wherever you go. According to Scripture, that's exactly what God's favor does in your life. Many of us limit God's favor to Sunday services or special spiritual moments. We compartmentalize when and where God can work in our lives. But divine favor isn't a part-time blessing—it's a 24/7 reality for believers. God's favor surrounds you like a shield. It's not just ahead of you or behind you; it's on every side. This favor creates opportunities, opens doors, and brings divine connections into your path that you couldn't orchestrate yourself. As you go about your daily routine—work, running errands, or spending time with family—remember that you carry His shield of favor with you. You don't need to wait for a special occasion to experience God's supernatural advantage. His favor is working for you right now, in every situation. Bible Verse "For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield." - Psalms 5:12 Reflection Question How might your daily interactions and expectations change if you truly believed you were surrounded by God's favor at all times? Quote "The Bible says that the favor of God surrounds us like a shield. Wherever you go, you have doors of favor all around you." Prayer Lord, thank You for surrounding me with Your favor. Help me be aware of Your presence and blessings throughout my day. I walk forward expecting to see Your favor at work in every situation. In Jesus’s name, amen.
