All who wish to be prosperous, raise your hand. Do we have any takers? I thought so...
If we will truly love God, and listen to his voice, we will become prosperous. I know everyone would love to be rich, but there is so much more to being rich than having a pile of money. God wants us to strive to prosper in life. He wants us to shine His light to all the world.
True, He wants us to work hard and learn good money habits, but he also wants us to grow in love for others. As we work we gain wealth. As we learn and exercise good money habits, we get to keep our wealth. But alongside the hard work and wisdom, if we are kind and loving and listen for what God would have us say and do, then we would be more blessed than we could possibly imagine. Jesus loves you and wants to give you everything you could want or desire. We just need to give him our all. That means hard work in the natural world, and listening and obeying with our spiritual ears.
“I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. I have riches and honor, as well as enduring wealth and justice. My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver! I walk in righteousness, in paths of justice. Those who love me inherit wealth. I will fill their treasuries.”
Proverbs 8:17-21 NLT
PRAYER:
Daddy God, we want to give all we have to you. Teach us to listen and obey what you are saying to us. Also, show us how to be wise and bless others. Help us to show them that God cares for them too. Lord, I ask that as you show me what you want me to do. I ask for wisdom and that I am able to prosper in my finances and my love for you. In your holy and precious name. Amen!!!
