FOG: A COLLECTION OF WATER DROPLETS OR ICE

CRYSTALS SUSPENDED IN THE AIR AT OR NEAR THE

EARTH’S SURFACE; A LOW-LYING CLOUD.

FOG FORMS WHEN COOL AIR IS TRAPPED UNDERNEATH

WARM AIR.

WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE FAVOR OF GOD, IT MEANS THAT HE SHOWS US

KINDNESS AND TREATS US WITH GENEROSITY AND GOODWILL, FAR BEYOND

WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED.

WE ARE TREATED MUCH BETTER THAN WE COULD EXPECT. EVERY BELIEVER IS

FAVORED TO SOME DEGREE. THEREFORE, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND GOD’S FAVOR IN DEGREES. THE MORE

WE PLEASE GOD, THE MORE WE WILL BE FAVORED BY HIM.

WE SHOULD NOT EQUATE GOD’S FAVOR WITH MATERIAL THINGS. GOD’S FAVOR

IS GIVEN IN SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS MORE THAN MATERIAL BLESSINGS.

FAVOR: SOMETHING DONE OR GRANTED OUT OF

GOODWILL, RATHER THAN FROM JUSTICE. THE STATE OF

BEING APPROVED OR HELD IN HIGH REGARD. EXCESSIVE

KINDNESS OR UNFAIR PARTIALITY; PREFERENTIAL

TREATMENT.
