Daily Bread – August 1, 2023 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) Joshua 1:8 – The book of this law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall recite from it day and night so that you will observe to do all that is written; for then you shall succeed in your ways, and then shall you succeed in all that you know. The Key To Success Obedience to God’s Word not only gives us the divine insight in how to properly conduct our lives, but the Most High also intervenes and causes us to prosper (Psalms 1:3; Proverbs 3:16, 22:4, 24:4). The first step towards obedience is placing God’s Word superior to all other things in our lives. God sets forth the divine spiritual law on how to step into His blessing and to have the increase He desires for our lives. God’s will for our lives is an abundance of all things (Deuteronomy 8:18, 28:47; Psalms 34:10, 112:3; Ecclesiastes 5:19; Job 36:11; John 10:10). The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich and He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22). If we walk in obedience to God’s Word and to His will for our lives, then we will prosper – for God will give us power to make wealth so He might establish His Covenant. One may say that the wicked also prosper, but we must recognize their prosperity springs up from their own deceit and brings with it torment and adds more sin to their souls (Ecclesiastes 5:12-13; Psalms 49:6,16, 52:7, 62:10; Proverbs 13:7). The saints of God, who are committed to the purposes of God and to the advancement of the Kingdom of God, should earnestly petition God that His prosperity come into their lives (Psalms 118:25). In so doing, then the saints of God must be willing to live by the Word of God. They must allow the miracle working power of the Word of God to dominate their thoughts and become the words of their mouths. If we will continue to behold the mightiness of God and the power of His Word, then we will come to know that nothing is impossible for those who will believe what God has said. Remember the key to your success will be directly related to your obedience to God’s Word. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
