![]() Joshua 1:7 (NIV) – Be strong and very courageous. Genesis 39:3 (NASB) – Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.ġ Kings 2:3 (NIV) – and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in his ways, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and requirements, as written in the Law of Moses, so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go.ĭeuteronomy 12:7 (NASB) – “There also you and your households shall eat before the LORD your God, and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the LORD your God has blessed you.ĭeuteronomy 29:9 (NASB) – So keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV) – Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. Now I am not suggesting that we should just serve God to see what we can get out of the deal, but it is nice to know that He is really is looking out for our benefit! Here are a few scriptures I found about being blessed in what you do… When He says to give, its because He knows that the most fulfilling and joyful life is one of giving. When He says not to gossip, it is because He knows what it leads to – and how it ultimately makes our lives worse. What I am finally starting to realize is that it is all for our benefit! God doesn’t give us a bunch of rules just to make our lives challenging, He instructs us, not for His benefit, but for ours! What makes it worse is when you see everyone around you doing it, and just like a 10-year old you think, “well everyone else is doing it – why can’t I?” And just like any good parent, the answer is, “because I told you so.” I can’t even count how many times I had a little issue in my life, that I didn’t think was a big deal – but that apparently was to God. Personally, I think God views the small things as major things. Usually after prayer and re-evaluation, I can quickly figure out what I was or wasn’t doing that was preventing things from prospering like I wanted. It’s easy to say that we want God to prosper what we are doing, but I have noticed that most times in my life when things aren’t prospering like I want, it isn’t because God didn’t hold up His end of the bargain, but that I didn’t hold up mine. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors,” Or like Deut 30:9 says, “Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. ![]()
