“Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous. For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deep in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance. The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling, He looks on all the inhabitants of the earth; He fashions their hearts individually; He ]considers all their works. No king is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, just as we hope in You.” Psalm 33:1-22

(1) There is respect and honor in labor, and success, but despite the best of knowledge, the best of wisdom, mental and physical strength, wealth, nationality, profession, gender, age, and location, there are several things one will never be able to do. One can only do what God in His love and power enables, God will enable you to do what is right and that which He enables you to do will be done through His grace. That is where your success and breakthrough will begin.

(2) No one worships the Lord in vain; no one follows Him in vain, no one believes in Him in vain and no one trusts in Him in vain. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him in truth. He is the giver of salvation and the one who sustains the blessings and benefits in our salvation. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Ruth, Job, Daniel, David, Peter, Paul, Matthew, and many others did not worship and trust God in vain, they were all rewarded, you will also be rewarded. 

(3) The best of your dreams and desires are nothing compared to what He plans for you. Despite the situations and whatever is happening around you, God is actively implementing His plans, confirming His words, and converting the hearts of men for His glory. “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27. With Christ in you and with you, there is hope, there is assurance, there is peace, there is every possibility that you will see the best of every situation.

(4) Jesus Christ is the way, the only way to every right dream, every right desire, every true and rewarding labor, every recovery, every lasting blessing, the peace that passes the understanding and the wisdom and the wealth of men. John 14:6; Job’s restoration was amazingly unique. Job was restored beyond the imaginations of everyone who saw and knew what he had gone through, and what he had lost in trusting God from the beginning. His restoration was far beyond thoughts.

(5) Despite your knowledge, feelings, and thoughts about yourself and your situation, you are worth more than that before the Almighty God. “But the very hairs of your head are  numbered, do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31

(6) You are, and you will live to be what God says of you irrespective of the forces fashioned to bring you down. You are the salt of the earth. “You are the salt of the earth.” Luke 14:30-34. He made you the salt and no adversity will change that. For prayers, Click here
