And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. (Numbers 13:30)

Divine Favor Is for Everyone
The gift of divine favor is for everyone. God is no respecter of His children. You can fight this truth if you want to, and God will have to leave you right where you are. God’s people have been hurting. Working two and three jobs just to make ends meet. A man once told me that he was working five jobs and as a result he lost his wife. I am here to tell you right now that God has a better way for you.
