We see that the by products of Christian living is success, prosperity, blessings, health and well-being. One may wonder how to derive them in our lives to stand up as a testimony before others? By striving or just seeking? Nothing by just abiding God's will and way...
Let us look at a few scriptures which shows us this truth...
Proverbs 16:20 (New American Standard Bible)
He who gives attention to the word will find good,
And blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.
Proverbs 28:25 (New International Version)
A greedy man stirs up dissension,
but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper.
Proverbs 29:25 (New American Standard Bible)
The fear of man brings a snare,
But he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.
Blessings, success, prosperity and well-being are all connected to heeding to God's Word and trusting in the Lord. 'Trusting' doesn't just mean having faith to obtain all that we pray for or seek. But trusting refers to absolute trust in the way God works in our life and deals with us individually. This may be seem difficult for some. However, when we learn to accept this fact, we will find ourselves more at ease in dealing with life issues and problems.
