Shalom,

Psalm 128:1-2 says this:

BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

Remember that "living according to His commandments" means being a DOER of His Word! Find out what the Word of God says about every situation you encounter, and then stand on that Word! Also in our Bible Reading Plan for today is John 5, where we have the account of the man laying by the Pool of Bethesda waiting get into the pool to be healed. Verses 5-9a:


There was a certain man there who had suffered with a deep-seated and lingering disorder for thirty-eight years. When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, Do you want to become well? [Are you really in earnest about getting well?] The invalid answered, Sir, I have nobody when the water is moving to put me into the pool; but while I am trying to come [into it] myself, somebody else steps down ahead of me. Jesus said to him, Get up! Pick up your bed (sleeping pad) and walk!  Instantly the man became well and recovered his strength and picked up his bed and walked.

Notice that when Jesus asked if the man wanted to be healed, the man said he was waiting for someone else to get him into that pool! What did Jesus says to him? He said "GET UP! PICK UP YOUR BED AND WALK!" Stop waiting for someone else to pray for you or to do something about your condition or situation! Find out for yourself what God's Word says. Get it inside of you by meditating on it and speaking it to yourself over and over. THEN, DO IT! AMEN! Everything God has promised in His Word is available to those who will DO IT!
