God Wants You To Prosper in All Things

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. ~ 3 John 1:2

What an encouragement to know that my Father cares about everything that goes on in my life! So many people feel that the only time they can go to God is when they have a "big" need in their life. That is so far from the truth. He cares about the tiniest details of our lives and He wants to be a part of those details. He wants us to seek Him in ALL things! He wants to give us the best in life and bring to pass His perfect will for us.

His perfect will does not just include us walking with Him on a daily basis. Yes, that is a huge part of it because as we walk with Him, we get to know Him better. We start growing. We learn His character. We begin to discern His will for our lives. As we grow and prosper spiritually, He wants us to prosper in every area of our lives! It is His will for every single need to be met in our lives! It is His will for us to walk in health and wholeness! It is His will for us to walk in wisdom! Every provision has been made for every need in our lives!

As we begin to understand His will, we no longer just "hope" for the best to happen. By FAITH we receive His Word and we KNOW that it is a reality, even if we can't see it at the present time. When you KNOW something, nothing or no one can convince you otherwise! You stop speaking contrary to the Word and are careful with your words. You understand that your words have power so you stop declaring defeat but start declaring what you know by faith! You know that at any given moment you will be holding your promise and walking in all the fullness of what God has for you!

We must understand that God wants the very best for us! He doesn't always do things the way we think He should but we can know without a doubt that He always has our best interest in mind and everything He does is motivated by love! Stop trying to make sense of everything and just know that He has a perfect plan for you. Trust in His character. Rest in His peace. Strengthen your relationship with Him and hold on to every promise He has given you. Don't allow anything or anyone to convince you that He is not working on your behalf. He is an on-time God and at just the right moment, everything He has promised you will come to pass!
