Daily Bread – May 11, 2023 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Genesis 39:2 – And his master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. The Prosperity Of God’s Blessing There should be no doubt about how God wants His people to be successful in everything they do. God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His children, and as Jesus said, “If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father give good things to those who ask Him?” (Psalms 35:27; Matthew 7:11). God is not the source of poverty, or the God of oppression. He is the God of blessings, Who has blessed us! When we look at the men of the Bible who walked with God, we see those who were blessed and prospered in everything they did. These men and their lives are examples to us of how we should live, and they are a testimony of how God will bless and prosper our lives in every way. Our Heavenly Father blessed Abraham and made him very wealthy because he walked with God (Genesis 13:1-2, 23:6). God blessed Isaac and Jacob, the seed of Abraham, in the same way because they were the people of God who had given themselves to walk with Him (Genesis 30:27, 33:11).
