Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, King David writes: “Who then is the man who reveres and trusts the Lord? The Lord will instruct him in the way chosen for him. He will spend his days in prosperity, and his descendants will inherit the land.”
Psalm 25: 12-13
Before we left heaven to make this earthly journey, a way was chosen for us and we were given the gifts and talents needed to accomplish the task.. As we read 1 Corinthians, chapter 12, we are told there are many parts that make up the spiritual body of Christ Jesus; assigned chosen parts for each of us that we are born to physically play for Him. “All of these are the work of one and same Spirit and He gives them to each one just as He determines.” 1 Corinthians 12:11
Paul writes using the human body as an illustration: “Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body’ it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,’ it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact, God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as He wanted them to be.” 1 Corinthians 12: 14-18
When we go to the Lord each day in reverence and Trust, giving Him our love, and thankfulness, and praise for His goodness and faithfulness, and grace, and love to us, it is to be a time of fellowship and dialog. The Word says He will instruct us in the way chosen for us. And so it is. He speaks to us. He is the great Teacher. He will instruct us using the living written Word as we open our hearts and minds to it. He will instruct us using truths and writings given to others. He will impress upon our spirit, through the Holy Spirit, the way we should go, what we should say, and how we should say it, as we wait before Him quietly in our devotional quiet time. As we go forth in the day, He is with us available to us every step of the way.
His Word tells us when we walk in His Way, and the way chosen for us, we shall spend our days in prosperity, and our descendants will inherit what we have received. John prayed that we would prosper and be in good health even as our soul prospers. 3 John 2. Prosperity in our soul comes from being at peace with our heavenly Father through Christ Jesus, and thanking Him for the opportunity to walk in His chosen way. As our soul prospers and matures through the nurturing of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit brings forth love, and casts out anxiety and fear, which brings peace, which brings perfect health. Our soul must prosper in order for our health to prosper. When our health prospers, both in mental and physical soundness, we are greatly blessed. Wonderful things are drawn to us.
May you walk in perfect health, and prosper in all things God’s Beloveds.- as you walk in the way chosen for you.
I love you.
