The
Word of God is full of advice on how to live a healthy life mentally,
emotionally, financially, physically and spiritually (3 John 1:2). If we ferret
them out of the chapters and verses, we find amazing truth by which to live our
life (Proverbs 4:22).
When
our thoughts, words and deeds please the Lord, even our enemies are at peace
with us (Proverbs 16:7). He daily increases our blessings, and this even
includes our children (Psalm 37:25, 115:14). We lack nothing that we truly need
(Psalm 34:10; Deuteronomy 28:6; Philippians 4:19).
God
actually gives the ability and wisdom to produce wealth to those who covenant
with Him (Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalm 24:1). He yokes up with us to carry our
burdens each moment of the day, because He is the only God who truly saves
(Psalm 68:19).
God's
blessings bring us wealth, without the painful toil that so many must endure
(Proverbs 10:22). When we humble our self enough to respect, honor, obey and
consult the Lord throughout the day, we reap riches and honor (Proverbs 22:4).
The
secret to financial success in life is to seek God's Kingdom before our own
desires, and He will give us everything we need (Matthew 6:33-34). When our
ways please the Lord, He also gives us wisdom, knowledge and happiness
(Ecclesiastes 2:26).
Prayer:
Father
God, thank You for Your abundant prosperity for Your children. You bless the
fruit of our labors, and our physical and financial needs. You open for us the
windows of Heaven and the storehouse of Your bounty. You send rain to water our
gardens, and You bless all the work of our hands (Deuteronomy 28:11-13).
As
we pay attention to and obey Your precepts, we will always find fulfillment,
peace, joy and richness in our life. Remind us to tithe a tenth of our income;
because if we do not, we are guilty of robbing You. However, when we are
faithful tithers, You open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out Your abundance
of blessings on us, so that we have enough to share with those in need (Malachi
3:10).
Thought
for the Day:
Financial
responsibility and honoring the Lord with our whole heart, mind, soul and
strength will result in His bountiful provision in our life, His protection
over our resources, and His abundance in all of our endeavors.
