“…Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
(Psalm 35:27, NKJV)
In the same way that a parent loves to see their child doing well and excelling, God wants you to do well and excel in every area. He takes pleasure in prospering you. He doesn’t want you to just barely have enough to meet your own needs. God wants you to be so blessed that when other people get around you, it overflows onto them. He wants you to be so blessed in your finances that you can pay your own bills, accomplish your own dreams and also be a blessing to other people.
The key is that you have to make room for it in your thinking. You have to expect that He wants to bless you. Take a step of faith today by thanking Him for His abundance in every area of your life. Declare that because you follow His ways, His blessings are going to chase you down! Don’t just settle for a “good enough” mentality, develop an overflow mentality because God delights in the prosperity of His people!
“Father, today I surrender every area of my life to You. Help me to understand Your goodness and grace. Develop in me an overflow mentality and show me how to be a blessing to others in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
