A couple wanted to enroll their son in a particular private school. But this birthday fell for days after the cutoff date, necessitation a yearlong wait. They felt strongly that their child would do better by starting school with children his own age, so they called the school to see if they could make an exception.
No way, the register told them, I am sorry, that is against the rules and we never make an exception. Your child will have to wait another year.
The couple remained kind, they were not rude. They did not jump down the register’s throat or try to manipulate matters. They know they had the favor of God, so they politely said, that is fine, but we would like to speak with your boss.
The register referred them to the vice principal of the school. My friends called him and explained the situation. He offered the same answer, we had love to help, but we just cannot bend the rules. You are going t have to wait until next year.
Fine, we had like to talk to your boss.
Eventually, they met with the principal of that school, but he responded similarly. Rules are rules, he said. I am sorry. We cannot change them. You are going to have to wait.
They said. Fine, but we like to meet with your boss.

He just listened. When they finished presenting their case, he said, I am going to have get back with you. The couple left the meeting still declaring God’s favor. They were excepting to get good report, expecting thing to turn around.
About a month after that conversation, they receive a call from the school register, the first woman with whom they had spoken. She sounded prepress as she said. In the fifteen year I have been here, we have never done the before. We do not even know why we are doing it now, but we are going to make an exception and allow your child to attended school this term.
Friend that is the favor of God. The school administrators may not have known why they were doing it, but we do. It is because God’s favor surrounds us like a shield. It does not matter what the circumstances look life in your life. Regardless of how many people tell you that what you are attempting cannot be done, if you will preserve, declaring the favor of God and saying in an attitude of faith. God will open doors for you and change circumstance on your behalf.
