Are You Prospering

Are You Prospering “Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do.” Deuteronomy 29:9 Are you happy with your life today? Do you feel content where you are, with your finances, your family, your relationships, and all the other aspects of your life? God wants each of us to become successful, however the amount of material wealth that we accumulate is not indicative of the type of success that he has in store for us. God has a plan for each of our lives, he knows all about us, he knows our thoughts and desires, and will provide us guidance to make the right decisions we make each and every day if we will seek it and ask him for it. God wants us to be successful in our lives, but not at the expense of others. Making the financial decisions we all make on a daily basis takes thought on our part, and we need to consider all issues before we make many of our financial decisions. We need to ask God for guidance in these decisions, and live our lives for him, and make sure the decisions we make do not come at the expense of others. So many people do not reach the full potential of what God wants them to achieve in their lives, because they do not follow His commands and seek the guidance from Him in making the proper decisions for themselves. I believe God gives us the opportunity to prosper, and has positioned each of us to be at the time and place we are at today for a purpose. If we are following God’s plan for our lives we will prosper where we are, but we have to be following His plan and doing His will. We must be using our gifts and talents the way He wants us to, and if we are faithful in carrying out His will we will be prosperous in all that we do, and our decisions will be the right ones. Take a few minutes today to think about the scripture above and apply it to your life. My Daily Devotional Volume Six August 2 Robert William Brock, Jr.
