[The LORD thy God shall bless thee...in all the works of thine hands (Deuteronomy 16:15)]
from Deuteronomy 16:15

The Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. —Gen. 39:3.

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. —Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. —Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall he added unto you.

As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. —Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side?

Peace. Rest. Success. Happiness. Well-being. Prosperity. Blessing. God’s presence with me.

Those all sound so wonderful to me right now!

So…will I trust? and obey? and do good? and fear God? and delight myself in Him? and seek His kingdom and righteousness first?

I believe these verses.

I am encouraged by them.

My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. —Eph. 6:10.

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. —I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. —The gospel of Christ . . . is the power of God unto salvation.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. —I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. —We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

The joy of the Lord is your strength. —Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.

Like I said, I believe those verses and am encouraged by them.

But how to live by them…
