Soul Food, My Walk With God

Soul Food, My Walk With God

I went to a financial siminar tonight and these are some of the scriptures that were discussed. Sometimes, you just have to stand on what the Word says. Prayerfully this will bless and encourage someone.

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22

I love this verse. Remember "rich" is NOT always money.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2

Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall take thought
of the things for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:34

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Take
therefore no thought … – That is, no anxiety. Commit your way to God.
The evil, the trouble, the anxiety of each day as it comes, is
sufficient without perplexing the mind with restless cares about another
day. It is wholly uncertain whether you live to see another day. If you
do, it will bring its own trouble, and it will also bring the proper
supply of your needs. God will be the same Father then as today, and
will make then, as he does now, proper provision for your wants.

The
morrow shall take thought – The morrow will have anxieties and cares of
its own, but it will also bring the proper provision for those cares.
Though you will have needs, yet God will provide for them as they occur.
Do not, therefore, increase the cares of today by borrowing trouble
from the future. Do your duty faithfully now, and depend upon the mercy
of God and his divine help for the troubles which are yet to come.

The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psalm 138:8

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The
Lord will perfect that which concerneth me – He will complete what he
has begun. He will not begin to interpose in my behalf, and then abandon
me. He will not promise to save me, and then fail to fulfill his
promise. He will not encourage me, and then cast me off. So of us. He
will complete what he begins. He will not convert a soul, and then leave
it to perish. "Grace will complete what grace begins." See the notes at
Philippians 1:6.

Thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever – See the notes at Psalm 136:1.

Forsake
not the works of thine own hands – What thou hast made; what thou hast
begun to do. Do not leave me to perish. Prayer is one of the means – and
an essential means – by which the saints are to be kept unto salvation.
The doctrine of the "perseverance of the saints." is not inconsistent
with prayer, but rather prompts to it; and he who professes to rely on
that doctrine, and feels so safe that he does not need to pray, and does
not pray, gives certain evidence that he has never been converted, and
has no true religion.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:20

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Now unto him – It is not uncommon for Paul to utter an ascription of praise in the midst of an argument; see Romans 9:5; Romans 11:36; Galatians 1:5.
Here his mind is full of the subject; and in view of the fact that God
communicates to his people such blessings – that they may become filled
with all his fulness, he desires that praise should be given to him.

That is able to do – see the notes, Romans 16:25.

Exceeding abundantly – The compound word used here occurs only in this place, and in 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 1 Thessalonians 5:13. It means, to an extent which we cannot express.

Above
all that we ask or think – More than all that we can desire in our
prayers; more than all that we can conceive; see the notes on 1 Corinthians 2:9.

According
to the power that worketh in us – The exertion of that same power can
accomplish for us more than we can now conceive.

I'm not perfect, just striving to be the woman God wants me to be. Keeping my life lined up with the WORD!
