Saved to prosper!
Save now, I pray, O Lord; O Lord, I pray, send now prosperity.
Psalm 118:25 - NKJV
Well-being in your life starts with you getting saved out of ill-being! In other words, you first need salvation. You need to get saved out trouble before you have the hope of receiving valid prosperity. Eternal salvation is the most fundamental salvation you need. You need Jesus to save you from sin and its horrible consequences. By this, your separation from God is ended and your life starts with God. With God salvation is available to you from every grievous condition in your life.
Do you desire to thrive? Then first seek salvation! The story of blind Bartimaeus is a good illustration. Bartimaeus way-laid Jesus crying out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus quizzed him, "What do you want me to do for you?" You might have expected a beggar to ask for money but Bartimaeus did not ask for wealth. He asked for his sight! He recognised that enduring prosperity would not come from a cash windfall. He realised if he was to thrive in life he had to have salvation from his blindness. Mar.10:46-52.
What is it you need saving from so that you can thrive? Is it sin? Is it from anxiety and carrying your cares? Whatever it is pray like David the psalmist. Pray first for salvation in your life. Make request of the Lord like Bartimaeus. Whatever is the most fundamentally hindering condition in your life petition the Lord for salvation from that. May the Lord set you free so you can find prosperity in seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness! Mat.6:33.
God is faithful who will establish you!
