Are you willing to prosper?

Prosperity = Be Willing | & | Be Obedient

Prosperity = Be Willing | & | Be Obedient |

Succeed | Prosper | succeed in reaching, succeed materially and economically; be financially successful, flourish physically; grow strong and healthy.

Prosperity is more than money and the accumulation of wealth, but rather an ongoing state of success that touches every area of our lives.

So with that…Here is Tuesday Morning’s Hidden Treasure (hidden only because it is not readily apparent to many):

“If you are willing and obedient, You will eat the good of of a “divinely gifted land” (Isaiah 1:19)

Willing—(ready, eager, and prepared), and Obedient—(complying, or willing to comply with the Lord’s authoritative commands, direction, and instruction); it sounds like something we expect from our children, but it is also something the Lord expects from His children. In order to eat the good of a “divinely gifted land,” we must be both willing and obedient.

Sometimes the Lord will tell us to do something and we obey Him, but we may do so grudgingly or with a bad attitude.
This is like a parent who tells his child to clean their room and they throw a fit but stomp off to clean it.

Another example is that we may be willing to obey, but we postpone doing what He has instructed because it might mess up your schedule or inconvenience you.

This is also similar to a child who was told to clean their room and did not fuss, but…waited until they were told four or five times before they did it!

Delayed obedience is the same as disobedience 

We may only obey part of what we are told—like a child who doesn't really clean the room properly, but just throws his clothes and toys under the bed. So, it is critical for us to have a willing attitude and be timely and complete in obeying Him. When our attitudes and actions line up with this scripture, we are promised to eat of the good (best of the best), of the land. It means you will partake of the good things in life—having such things as financial abundance, good health, good relationships, influence, and peace of mind.

The only outcome of being willing and obedient is a good “divinely gifted” outcome.

We can only benefit if we do as the Lord directs.

There is no negative scenario here- unless we are unwilling and/or disobedient. It’s a no-brainer!

So, let's commit to being willing in attitude and obedient in action, and the good will come your way!
