| Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 - Consumed
“And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.”
(Ecclesiastes 5:19-20 NLT)
by Chris
To talk about wealth is often taboo.
Especially in churches people tend to cringe a bit when someone speaks to obtaining great wealth. Almost as if they believe that money will somehow corrupt them the second they come into it’s inheritance.
The ability to enjoy wealth and good health should be something you long for. It is a gift from God.
He doesn’t want you broke, busted, and disgusted claiming how victorious you are in Christ. He wants to prosper your soul then bless you with wealth.
What I love about this scripture is that the blessings of God are so great that there isn’t even time to think about the past. The present and the future are all that is on the mind of the blessed.
Think about it, this means when God blesses you aren’t worried about what went wrong in the past or who wronged you in the past. You are not focused on revenge or getting even with others. You’re consumed with his blessings and all the joy that comes with them.
Bless me Lord! I receive all you have in store for me!
Friend, there is nothing wrong with obtaining wealth and enjoying living at a higher standard. When it comes from God that means He knows your heart is right and you are ready to receive it.
Allow the blessings of God to consume you totally, that all your heart desires is to give Him praise.
Lets pray...
“Lord, consume me with your blessings today. Erase my past pains, hurts, and fears with your unsurmountable blessings in my life right now. When you do, I promise I will dwell on nothing but the goodness of the Lord for the rest of my days. Amen”
