Читать книгу Promises for Dynamic Living - Linda Knight - Страница 17

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will have good success.”

Promise: God promises that living by His Word each day, and keeping my focus on Him will bring me prosperity and success.

What is prosperity and success in God’s eyes? God explains in this promise that following His Word, keeping our thinking on His precepts, and living a God-driven life will glorify Him. Would that kind of life bring you happiness and success in relationships? Will it provide freedom from stress, guilt over sin and worry? God’s ways are in contrast to the self-driven and self-gratifying goals of this world. God knows that following the world’s standards leads to glorifying self. Which goals do you want motivating you?

Lessons and Truths:

1.I am to meditate on God’s Word in order to absorb its truths.

2.God’s Word demands careful attention.

3.Living God’s way brings God-given blessings.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your Word and your promise to bless me if I will live by your Word. Give me a heart to read, meditate, and study your Word faithfully. Help me to set godly goals that will glorify you. Thank you for what you have already done and what you will do in and through me. Amen.
