It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. Psalm 118:8-9

Who wouldn't want to be the blessed man in Jeremiah 17?

In both good and bad times, the blessed man thrives and reigns. He is like a tree planted by the waters, with its roots spread out by the river. When the heat is on - when the competition heats up or when there is a financial drought - he doesn't fear or worry. His "leaves" remain greed - he stays young and fresh. And he continues to be fruitful - always succeeding and seeing the desired results, whether in his business, career, family life or ministry!

How do you enjoy the blessings of the blessed man? You look not to man but to Jesus alone. Looking to Jesus is to meditate on His Word, His unmerited favor and His gift of righteousness. Begin to truly put your trust and hope in Jesus, instead of in your own strength or other people. Then, get ready to thrive and be bountifully fruitful whether times are good or bad!

Pursue Jesus

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.... Psalm 23:6

When you follow or pursue Jesus, the good shepherd, His goodness and mercy and all the blessings you need in life will follow after you!

Please do not pursue the blessings. Pursue Jesus, the blesser. As you pursue Him, you don't have to be concerned about the blessings because they will follow after you! In fact, the Hebrew translation of Psalm 23:6 is much stronger and more aggressive. It literally says, "Surely goodness and mercy shall hunt me down all the days of my life!"

With Abundance

You crown the year with Your goodness, and your paths drip with abundance. Psalm 65:11

Regardless of what experts say about the current economic situation, there is a good news for you. As a child of God, your blessings this year are not dependent on the ebb and flow of the stock market.

you can expect good things to happen to you this year because God's Word declares it: "You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance"!

The key to experiencing the blessings lies in Psalm 65:11 itself - "Your paths drip with abundance." In order to see His paths dripping with abundance, you would need to follow Him, wouldn't you? So to experience the Lord's goodness and abundance this year, keep listening to and beholding His grace and finished work. It's easy to follow His leading when you are turned to His grace. And when you tread where He treads, you will run right into the blessings that He has already prepared for you!

To God's Abundance

... Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me, Hear, and your soul shall live... Isaiah 55:2-3

Because the Lord's pathways "drip" or overflow with abundance, following in His footsteps will cause you to walk in that abundance. And to follow Him, all you have to do is listen carefully to Him.

Look at Isaiah 55:2-3: "Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance, listen to the Word of the Lord. If you desire to walk out of lack and walk into divine provision, keep listening to the preaching of the good news of Jesus' finished work. Keep hearing all that He has done for you to inherit all of God's goodness and abundance. Faith will come to deliver you out of chronic illnesses, fears, debt and depression into divine health, wisdom, provision, fruitfulness and joy!
