only are you surrounded by His favor, you are also crowned (surrounded) with glory and honor. I encourage you to see yourself encircled with the same glory and honor that Jesus has at the right hand of the Father today. What a picture to have of yourself!
My friend, instead of moaning about all the qualities you lack and feeling depressed, see yourself surrounded by glory and honor. For example, if you are looking for a job, preparing for an interview or hoping for a promotion, don't waste time worrying that others may be more capable or experienced than you. Instead, be conscious that there is an anointing on you because God's glory is upon you.
Believe that the next time you step into a room, that room will light up and the atmosphere will change for the better because you are crowned with His glory and honor!
For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden; but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven.
—Deuteronomy 11:10-11
...the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant...
—Deuteronomy 6:10-11
... The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my Savior...
—2 Samuel 22:2-3, NIV
LOOK UP FOR YOUR SUPPLY
When the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they relied on the River Nile, a natural resource, for their supply of water. They depended entirely on their own hands to carry the water from the Nile and did not have to look to God at all for His supply. This is a picture of human self-effort.
On the other hand, in the promised land of Canaan that God had prepared for His beloved people, there was no River Nile to depend on. So they had to look up and depend solely on the Lord for the blessing of rain to fall upon their land.
Beloved, even as you labor diligently in your career today, what is your trust in? Is it in your self-efforts to provide for yourself, or is your dependence on the Lord to bless, increase and promote you? It's time to look up, especially in times of economic turmoil when the "Niles" of the world are drying up. Look up to Jesus for your supply!
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly... but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
—Psalm 1:1-3
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
—John 1:14
But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
—1 Corinthians 1:24
DELIGHT IN JESUS DAILY
The Bible tells us, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly." This means that while there is wisdom in ungodly counsel, a blessed man does not depend on it or walk in it. On the contrary, his delight is in the Word of God, which is the person of Jesus!
My friend, let your delight be in Jesus. See Him in every page of the Bible as you meditate on God's Word day and night.
Beloved, whose counsel are you walking in today for your provision? Be wary of ungodly counsel that promises you quick short-term gains that could cause you to get into a debt trap. Conversely, as you meditate on Jesus daily, you will enjoy the blessings of abundance as a by-product of just being in His presence! As you delight in Jesus,
