God's Way to Prosperity
God has a way for us to prosper. He does not promise we will have fantastic wealth. Prosperity to the Lord is the ability to have a good life here on this earth. He had taught David these principles, and David passed them on to his son, Solomon. (I Chronicles 22:13) I believe they are still just as true today.
To prosper we must begin by observing the statutes and ordinances of the Lord which He showed Moses. Sometimes, we call it the law of God. The laws of God are for our good. He gives them to us to set us free, not to hinder us. Therefore, if we keep them, we will be blessed, because they show us how to live in wisdom and the will of God.
Also, we must be strong and courageous, if we want to prosper. It takes physical, mental, and emotional strength to prosper in this world. This world is not for the timid, but for those with enough courage to step out, while we are trusting the Lord to protect us and go before us.
Finally, we must not fear or be dismayed. Fear cripples us. It causes us to make bad decisions. We must get rid of the fear of man and earthly things, so that we can prosper. If we allow fear and discouragement into our lives, we will not venture out into new situations, but we will be paralyzed by the fear and never grow.
Tomorrow, I intend to read I Chronicles 23-26.
