Is this for me too? "The Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand."

“I need more money.”

“Why?”

“So I can provide for my family, pay my bills, clear my debts, brighten my testimony, and give to the kingdom.”

“What about getting wealth and stuff?”

“Give me neither poverty nor riches,” (Proverbs 30:8).

I think of that verse fragment fairly often.

I thought of it again this morning when I read this:

The Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hand. -Genesis 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. -Psalm 128:1,2

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. -Psalm 37:3,4

Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. -Joshua 1:9

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall he added unto you. -Matthew 6:33

As long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. -2 Chronicles 26:5

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. -Deuteronomy 8:11,17

Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? -1 Chronicles 22:18

Daily Light on the Daily Path — June 8, Morning

I forgot.

I thought in my heart the way I wasn’t supposed to.

I was wrong.

I have repented.

I have learned…again…that pride flattens.

Now I ask Him repeatedly to “build the house” (Psalm 127:1).

Don’t make my mistake.

And learn these lessons: Do This to Minimize Failure.

God bless you and prosper you…as He measures prosperity.

We who are light are supposed to reprove darkness, not hang out with it.

I read these two verses a couple of nights ago:

“Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children light” (Ephesians 5:8).

“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11).

We who are light are supposed to reprove darkness, not hang out with it! What should we avoid in order to not fellowship with darkness?

Well, read the June 4, evening selection in its entirety.

Or you could go ahead and buy the whole book via my Amazon affiliate link: Daily Light on the Daily Path. 🙂

If you do, thanks! Either way, thanks for reading this little blog post.

And please remember to leave a reply below with your answer my question: What is one dimension of fellowshipping with the works of darkness?
