When I think of favor, I think of a gift. Most likely, something for free that can ease whatever burden I’m currently carrying. But there is a different kind of favor. There is a king of favor that bestows responsibility. It gives us work to do, rather than takes it away. This favor elevates our status, and changes our stature. But there is a purpose for this favor. If given this favor it is because we have been found reliable for a particular task. There will be other gifts given to achieve that task - things like patience, grace, resilience, wisdom. But there is work. And it has to be done.
