Isaiah 26:3

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

God is the rewarder of faith.  We stay in faith when we cast down the thoughts that the enemy tries to put in and replace them with the word.  Our faith will be rewarded with perfect peace because we don’t let our minds be troubled.  Faith believes what God says it can do and speaks what God says and peace is a result. 

3 John 2

I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

We need to look at our souls like they are seeds.  For them to grow and flourish they have to be watered, nourished and renewed.  Just as our souls prosper our lives will prosper and grow.  The more we learn of God and His way the more our souls will be renewed, and our lives will change. 

Colossians 3:23,24

Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

If we are Christians, we serve the Lord Christ.  Serving Christ and our relationship with Him should increase our confidence and motivations to be prosperous in our daily lives.  The accolades of the world cannot compare to the rewards we have in Heaven.  We are motivated to do good because we serve a good God and represent Him here on earth. 

Joshua 1:8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.  For then you will make your prosperous, and then you will have good success. 

Sometimes, reading the Bible feels like being given the keys to limitless possibilities.  The Bible provides examples of the tests that we face in life and the solutions for thriving and overcoming.  It takes some effort and focus on our part to renew our minds with the word of God.  We give our lives so freely to other distractions without a thought.   Can you imagine if we checked our bible as much as we checked our cell phones?

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of God stands forever. 

The word of God is central to power in our lives.  God created the world with the word, and He spoke it into being.  For our souls and lives to prosper, we must invest time in the word.  The word doesn’t fade away, and the truth written in the bible will overcome any circumstance and guide us to revelations.  Fight the good fight of Faith with the Word

Mathew 6:34

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry aboutits own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Our thought life will either be the breakthrough for the dayor break us down.  Sometimes we have tobe diligent and focus on what the bible says about our lives to not worry overa situation.  When we get out ahead ofGod, and we get beyond what we can handle. What we imagine is going to happen never does, and Gods’ word willovercome every circumstance.

1 Peter 1:23

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.   

A seed contains all the nutrients it needs to start a new life until it is planted.  When we are born again, God replaces the old bad seed and plants new, incorruptible seed.  A seed has unlimited potential to spread its roots and grow.  The more nutrients (the Word) it takes up, the larger the plant will become.  Our job is to nourish that seed with the Word of God and grow and prosper in our lives as our soul prospers.  We need to see ourselves as a seed without limits in fertile soil.  

Psalm 121:2-3

My help comes from the Lord,

Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;

He who keeps you will not slumber. Our God said He would never leave us or forsake us, that means He is with us all of the time.  We must take it on Faith and believe when God says it He is going to do it.  Sometimes, it isn’t so much a proving of God but proving of ourselves and our Faith and what we are going to believe.  We are in a partnership with God, and for Him to do what He says, we must believe that He can and will. 

John 6:63

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.  The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

The Spirit through the word gives us life and life more abundantly. Our words will either lift us up or defeat us, and no one wants to live a defeated life.  The wisdom of the flesh (mind) can never reach the wisdom of God and the Bible.  As we draw closer to God through the word our lives will bear the fruit of His instruction. 

Psalm 119:103-105

How sweet are Your words to my taste,

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Through Your precepts I get understanding;

Therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

The bible to a born-again believer is the instruction manual.  Every day we wake and go about our lives, and we either turn to God for wisdom and guidance or do it our way.  The Bible should be our way to increase our understanding and faith.  The word is a lamp that guides us through the everyday trials and stresses.
