Favor of God

Hello everyone,
I used to pray about winning competitions, but I felt guilty because God loves the others as much as He loves me. He is not a respecter of persons. See Joshua 5:
13 When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, "Are you friend or foe?"
14 "Neither one," he replied. "I am the commander of the Lord’s army."
At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence.
Now, this was just after Moses died and Israel had renewed the covenant by circumcising all the males. So even though God loved them all the same, He has an everlasting covenant with Israel. They had the favor of God, and that broke the spirit of their enemies. If I had known about the favor of God, I would not have felt guilty because I am a covenant girl. Our covenant, initiated and sealed by the blood of Jesus, gives us an advantage over the rest of the world. Yes, He loves them, but we received Him by faith. We are children of the most high God! When you are in a battle or you need an advantage, remember you walk in the FOG, the Favor Of God. I love you all!
healed by His stripes,
Nancy
