My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 195

July 14

"I am about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and keeping his statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn..." -1 Kings 2:2-3 ESV

Strong in the Lord.

What does it take for God to prosper you wherever you go?

Keeping and walking in His Word.

This may seem easy but it is not... the only kind of people who are able to do such things are those strong in the Lord.

"Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;" -Joshua 23:6

Those who can keep and do the Word of God are those 'very courageous' man and woman of God... whose faith in grounded on Christ Jesus. If Christ is the foundation of your faith then you are strong indeed.

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it." -Matthew 7:24-27

"For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." -1 Corinthians 3:11

You see God only prosper those strong people, whose faith unwavering and unshakable because it was rooted on Christ Jesus. Surely God will prosper those kind of people wherever they go.

To God be the glory!
