THE ATTITUDES OF THE HEART

OBEDIENCE—A HEART THAT FEARS GOD

God does promise prosperity. However, the promise is for those WHO
ARE OBEDIENT TO HIS WORD . Because, beyond everything and anything,
God wants us to be in right standing with him. Remember, to God,
obedience is more important than any other sacrifice we can offer (1
Samuel 15:22). Our first passion and focus must be God—on
understanding and walking in obedience to His Word. It is as we walk
in the ways of the Lord that He will fulfil His promise of blessing.

• Blessed is the man who fears the Lord , who finds great delight
in his commands… Wealth and riches are in his house.
(Psalm 112:1&3)

• All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you
obey the Lord your God . (Deuteronomy 28:2-13)

• Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. You
will eat the fruit of your labour, blessings and prosperity will be
yours. (Psalm 128:1-2)

• Do not let the 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.
(Joshua 1:8)

• But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives
freedom, and continues to do it, not forgetting what he has
heard, but doing it, will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:25)

• If they obey and serve Him, they will spend their days in
prosperity and their years in pleasures . (Job 36:11)

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter.
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.”

(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
