Prosperity
Beyond Expectations
I love when this happens. It always catches me by
surprise. When I least expect it the Lord will hold His finger down on the
sentence in a verse I am reading in my Bible and I simply can’t move on. Today
it was from Psalm 128.
“Blessed are all
who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor;
blessings and prosperity will be yours.” Psalm 128:1-2 NIV
I heard the Lord whisper in my heart, “Prosperity is
more than you think it is. The real worth of heavenly prosperity is not in the
abundance of wealth or things, but by My prosperity of grace, hope, love and
mercy, and peace.”
I picked up one of my favorite devotionals My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald
Chambers. I thought there probably wasn’t going to be a topic day in there with
prosperity in it, ― surely not.
But most assuredly there it was for me to see on June
2nd. And oh how the Lord used
it to bless me a greater understanding of His prosperity and the importance of
my obsession for Him.
Blessings of prosperity are the gift fruits from the obsession
for God. Obsession for God fills us with blessed assurance of His unfailing
love. And even in those trials and unforeseen circumstances in life, God will increase
the prosperity of calm in the most crucial times and events in our lives.
The world offers too many opportunities to obsess on
things that are not good for us health wise or heart wise. But a heartfelt obsession
for God will literally save our life, give us strength to sustain us, joy that
is infectious, hope for tomorrow and heavenly prosperity beyond all our expectation.
“If we are
obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives-not concerns, nor
tribulations, nor worries….God will cause us to “dwell in prosperity” keeping
us at ease, even in the midst of tribulation, misunderstanding, and slander if
our “life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).” Oswald Chambers My Upmost for His Highest
