By a show of hands who thinks their brother or sister is the favorite child? Ok now who thinks they were the favorite child? It is interesting that children believe parents show favoritism. I know... I know... as you read this you are probably saying, "They do!" Just keep reading because the reality is we believe our family has favorites because deep down we all long to be favored. Maybe your family does or does not, but all children longed to be favored by their family. The good news even if no one else favors you God does.
Proverbs 3:3-4 says, " Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man." When we love one another and put faithfulness/loyalty as a high priority in our lives God and man will favor us. Since being favored is what we long for hear the wisdom of God through Solomon. You are favored when you show love and faithfulness. In short, you are a favored child of God and the cool thing is, He is big enough to have many favorites.
