In today's Responsorial Psalm we read: The Lord knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. (Psalm 37:19)
When we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive the New Birth we enter the Kingdom of God and become citizens of heaven. (Philippians 3:20) As citizens in the Kingdom we look to God alone as our source for all things. That is why it does not matter what economic situation your country is in. If you belong to the Kingdom of God, God is your overseer and caretaker and bible says: You shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine you shall be satisfied. (Psalm 37:19)
In the book of Genesis we read about how Isaac faced a season of famine. (Genesis 26:1-3) But in those days the bible says: Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. (Genesis 26:12-14)
The same blessing that was on Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is upon us in Christ. (Galatians 3:13-14)
The word blessing means- "empowered to succeed". In Christ we are empowered to succeed in business, at the workplace, in Ministry and in every area of life. No matter what the economic situation your country is in if you obey the Word of God and follow His leading through the Holy Spirit you too will prosper in your business and succeed at the workplace. Scholars say that Isaac was at least a multi-billionaire in today's standards. If God did it for Isaac, He will do it for you too. This is the will of God for you.
Let us pray today that God will make us sensitive to the leading of His Holy Spirit and teach us how to live prosperous and fruitful lives on this Earth in Jesus Name. Amen.
