I praise you for who you are, 38 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: how you care for me. Obedience to God's word brings prosperity. 39 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: There will always be a new expert or trend to 40 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: tell you what to do with your money. People will 41 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: tell you where to invest, what to buy, when to buy, 42 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: what to sell, all in hopes fulfilling their coffers. The 43 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: only one who truly has your best interests at heart 44 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: is God. He knows what your portion is here on earth, 45 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: and it's not money, it's himself. When we submit ourselves 46 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: to God's word, when we meditate on it and allow 47 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: it to become sweet in our mouths like honey, then 48 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: we will have success. When we observe the commands of 49 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: God given to us, When we take care of the 50 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: widow and the orphan, when we give to those in need, 51 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: when we use our wealth for the things He wants 52 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: us to use it for, then we will be prosperous. 53 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: We don't need to listen to anyone but God. When 54 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: we place our faith in his words, he will add 55 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: to us anything in everything we need. So draw near 56 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: to Him. Hey, ask forgiveness for putting the words of others, 57 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: maybe even over him. Confess those sins to Jesus even now. 58 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: Hope you'll take a few minutes to dwell with me 59 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: on the goodness of God's Word. Thank Jesus for being 60 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: the living Word, who is the way, the truth. And 61 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: the life. Give thanks for the mysteries of God revealed 62 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: to us through his commands. Thank Jesus for giving us 63 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: the keys to the Kingdom through his parables. Thank Him 64 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: for his words and how they are our inheritance from 65 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: generation to generation. Hope you'll know that God is present 66 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: right now and that he's listening to you. And the 67 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 2: Bible says, ask and it shall be given unto you. 68 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: So ask the Holy Spirit to help you gain understanding 69 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: in God's word. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you 70 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: and to instruct you as you read, showing you how 71 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: to fulfill what is written. Ask him to show you 72 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: God's will and to keep them. Ask the Holy Spirit 73 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: to remind you daily to read his word and to 74 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: keep you from turning away from it, either to the 75 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: right or to the left. And remember, study what is 76 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 2: written in the Bible day and night. Then you will 77 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: be sure to obey everything that is written therein. And 78 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: if you do this, you'll be wise and successful. God 79 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: has shown you how to prosper through obedience. Hope you'll 80 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: surrender your ways to God and watch him pour out 81 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: the favor of heaven.
