All Of Our Life Must Be Drawn From The Word
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
The Word of God teaches us over and over again about the importance of being rooted and grounded in the Lord Jesus Christ. Often we want prosperity NOW. We want blessings NOW. But God is saying, "No, I want your roots to grow first so you have the spiritual maturity to handle the finances when they come. I want you to be rooted and grounded in Me so you can handle the winds of adversity when they come." Our delight should be in the "law of the Lord," which is the Word of God.
Your prayer life must also be rooted and grounded in the Word of God. All your prayers must be based on God's Word and His promises! Not what you want... because your wants may be ungodly!
If the Word is your delight, you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water. When you drive through a desert, the only green you can see is right along a river. If there are any trees growing, they will be growing right beside the river where the water is flowing.
God is trying to say, if you want to be a prosperous, blessed, and healthy believer, stay planted by the rivers of the water of the Word of God and the water of the presence of the Holy Spirit each day. This is the type of tree which has roots traveling deep into the ground and is continually fed.
People in the world are looking for a place to find consolation, faith, and hope. The good news is it is found in Jesus Christ, but the world does not understand this.
Perhaps your prosperity has not yet manifested. God will bless and prosper you but it will come in due season.
In due season you will produce fruit and in due season your leaf will not wither. Every day your prosperity does not manifest is another day for your roots to grow deeper so when that day does arrive, your roots will run deep and you will be established in strength
And prayer is what will sustain you, is what will draw that water up from the
