We know, from Hebrews 8:6, that we who have received JESUS as Lord and Saviour have an even better Covenant with God than the Israelites did, because it is based on even better promises than theirs! So, if there is a good promise in the Old Testament, we have AT LEAST that good of a promise to stand on, and most times, even better! So, with that in mind, let's look at Psalm 128:1-2 from today's Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan!
1 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. 2 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.
Proverbs 9:10 tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning and the very chief and choice part of Wisdom! Operating in the Wisdom of God will cause everything to fall into place for us and everything that we do to succeed! Do you want to know something even more powerful than that promise? Look further into today's Bible Reading Plan to 2 Corinthians 1:20:
20 For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes [answer] in Him [Christ]. For this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through Him [in His Person and by His agency] to the glory of God.
Every promise that God has made to us in His Word is TRUTH and WILL come to pass if WE will give our AMEN (SO BE IT) to it! I encourage you to spend some time every day finding out more of what God's Word promises you when you are IN HIM! Meditate on those things until Holy Spirit causes them to become so real to you that you expect them to come to pass! THAT is the life of faith that we are to lead! People will then take notice that WE have been with JESUS! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Worship with "You Are Life":
Shalom in Him!
