   Meditate on God's Word

   Take God at his word, and let the truths of these texts convince you that he will provide for you materially.

   Joshua 1:8— Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

   Luke 12:29— And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.

   Luke 12:31— But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

   Philippians 4:6— Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

   Philippians 4:19— And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

   Let's Pray... Lord, I pause to proclaim to you that I know you are the Sovereign Ruler of this universe. I also know you are aware of all my needs. You are the source of all my blessings, too. But I need your help so that I can trust you and tap in to the rewards you promise through your law of the harvest. I want to be blessed so I can bless others in your name. I will take you at your word and make a commitment to obey the Scriptures. I will also wait with anticipation to see what you will do next because of Jesus. In his name. Amen.
