Yes, You Can Thrive and Live a Long Abundant and Prosperous Life!

Growing Prosperity – Thrive, Prosper, Flourish and Have Good Success

Flourish and Thrive like the Palm TreeGrowing prosperity is something that is…

possible in every area of life.

God’s desire is that we thrive in life;

not just survive.

However, to get off the treadmill going nowhere will require making the right choices moving forward.

Thrive, Prosper, and Flourish

Thrive is defined as: to make steady progress, to prosper, to grow vigorously, and to flourish. If we are willing to follow the instructions and plans God has given us we will thrive. It is possible to have growing prosperity and flourish in any area of life.

Thriving Crowd or Surviving Crowd?

If we want to get out of survival mode and begin to thrive, then a key choice we need to make is to not hang out with the wrong crowd. We ultimately become like the company we keep.

Do you continually surround yourself with unmotivated, negative minded people that do not thrive? If so, you can’t be surprised if you simply survive in life.

Hanging out continually with the wrong crowd will stunt your growth and rob you of the power to prosper and reach your greatest potential. As you become more determined to follow God’s plan you’ll soon find you become more attracted to those who are serious about their walk with God.

Prosper and Have Good Success

God wants to reveal every good path to you and He has provided sound wisdom that will enable you to live up to your full potential. However, it is up to you to study and meditate His Word regularly…

Then as you put those words of wisdom into practice you will make your way prosperous and have good success. (Joshua 1:8)

When we plant ourselves firmly in God’s Word, we tap into His streams of living water and find that everything we do is fruitful. So instead of running on a treadmill going nowhere and watching things around us wither, everything we do will prosper. (Psalm 1:3)

Yes, you can move out of survival mode and be on your way to thriving. Regardless of your current situation, your future is bright and waiting for you to flourish mightily.

God’s plan is for you to be like those described in Psalm 92:12-14 and flourish like a palm tree in the courts of our God and remain fruitful in old age.

“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.” — Psalm 92:12-14

The Good Life Is For You!

Regardless of your background or age, you can grow vigorously and live out God’s good plan for your life. If you refuse to hang out with the wrong crowd and are determined to feed on God’s Word, you can expect to thrive.

It may not come overnight, but if you are faithful to live by the Word of God you can live a long and fruitful life.

Decide today. Make the choice to thrive and not just survive. Don’t get stuck on the treadmills of life that want to steal God’s good plan for you. You were created to win. Yes, you can thrive and live a long, abundant, prosperous life.

May you thrive and flourish in the Word of God and live a long life of growing prosperity!

Be blessed to be a blessing –

Intimacy with God – Do You Make This Your Key Priority in Life?

Intimacy with God – Do You Make This Your Key Priority in Life?

Tap into the Great Power Source and Change Your Outlook!

intimacy with GodIntimacy with God is a great power source in life.

Unfortunately, the natural thing for most of us to do…

is become absorbed in our day-to-day problems and demands.

On any given day, many people face stressful situations,

extreme trials, and even heartbreaks with marriages,

family members, or friends. 

All this tends to keep the focus on self.

Learning to Look Beyond

When we learn to look beyond the trials and obstacles and fix our eyes on Jesus, and believe God is Sovereign, we will begin to have a different perspective and response to everything we face. The Bible teaches us that God uses all things, even the painful things, for the good of believers. One of the positive results of trials is the intimacy that can develop when we turn to the Lord for help.

“We know all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” 
— Romans 8:28

Intimacy with God – A Key Priority

God desires an intimate, loving relationship with us, and we should make this relationship our TOP priority. Intimacy with God begins with turning to Him and humbling ourselves before Him. It involves regular time in His Word, time in prayer, and patiently waiting for Him to speak to our hearts.

As we develop a deeper relationship with the Lord, we will understand that every hardship has a purpose. We have lessons to be learned and maturity to be gained. And remember, God has promised to meet the needs of His children, if they come to Him, seek Him diligently, and obey Him.

We can’t live above our circumstances in our own strength, but we certainly can by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Steps for a Closer Walk with the Lord

One – Give God the daily worship He deserves because of who He is and His finished work on the cross. Let Him know you love Him.

Two – Take time to confess all known sin; knowing that if you do, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Three – Give thanks regularly to God for all He has done in your life and in your world.

Fourth – Take time to pray daily and ask God to supply your needs.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” 
— Philippians 4:6

What’s stopping you? Why not tap into the great power source in life? For each of us, our priority in life should be intimacy with God.

May you continually walk closer to the Lord and live a life of growing prosperity!

God bless you always –

Cheers,
Brenda
