Knowing How To Prosper

 

Today's verse is 1 Chronicles 22:13

Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 

    Always pay attention to words like “then” and “therefore” and such like when reading God’s Word, because what follows is dependent upon what came before. But since David reiterates the condition, I will leave that to you. But notice the condition and the promise found in this verse. Now, today, we are to obey from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered to us, even this: This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Now this starts with the Cross, upon which he died, but now, it continues by us walking in that same Spirit by which he walked, for in that we shall also live by his Love, shewing forth, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance. Therefore in the doing of these things, be Strong and of good courage, refuse the dread, and be not dismayed, for our God is with us; even to the end of the World. Amen.

To God be the Glory
