DAY FIVE: Two Are Better Than One

It shouldn’t surprise us that we need God to show His favor toward us through declarations, because this kind of need for affirmation and approval is wired into our DNA. The pursuit of favor is a normal and deeply rooted human behavior. Everyone has a deep-seated awareness of incompleteness apart from outside recognition and affirmation. Even though the pursuit of man’s approval has caused many to fall into an unhealthy fear of man, the basic desire for affirmation is authentic and necessary. When we receive this kind of favor, it increases the effect of who we are and what we’ve been given to do in life because it taps into the principle of exponential increase through agreement. It affirms the fact that two are better than one if they are united. With favor our potential increases as the strength of others is added to our own. If you are struggling in any area of your life with an unhealthy fear of man, how can you replace it with an authentic desire for God’s affirmation?

Point to Ponder: I want the principle of exponential increase through agreement operating in my life.
