Proverbs 13:13 KJV — Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.
Shall is a promise. And shall happens in time.
Whether it’s minutes, months, days or decades, the promise of “shall” is going to come to pass.
Destruction and reward are the guaranteed destinations.
And their fulfilment…their “shall”…is just a matter of time.
1 Samuel 17:46 KJV — This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
This day.
Which day?
This day. The day you dare to speak to the Giant and tell him exactly what you’re going to do to him…trusting that your words will come to pass. (Mark 11:23)
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV — But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
You’ve got power to get wealth.
Use it.
Proverbs 12:22 KJV — Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
A lie is anything that isn’t true.
Truth is Jesus is the word of God.
Don’t let your lips lie by speaking things contrary to the word of God.
Psalm 1:2 KJV — But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Under the Old Covenant, this meant delighting in the revelation of God that was present as the law of the Lord.
Under the New Covenant, this means delighting in Jesus.
Let your heart be delighted in Jesus.
Psalm 45:7 KJV — Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
That’s what God has for you right now.
He wants to drench you with the oil of gladness above everyone around you.
Just say yes.
Psalm 121:5 KJV — The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The Lord is your keeper, in the same way that Adam was placed in the garden of Eden to keep it.
You are God’s garden of Eden. And His focus is to make you flourish.
Will you let Him?
Proverbs 9:11 KJV — For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
Days and years are measures of time. How you use your time is how you’re spending or investing your time.
When you invest your time in the Word of God, you reap dividends of multiplied days and increase of the years of your life.
Increase in quality as well as quantity.
Proverbs 9:3 KJV — She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
Places of leverage and influence.
Spaces occupied by decision makers.
That’s where wisdom is calling you to be.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Proverbs 8:1
Don’t you have a phone with access to 3 billion people around the world via the Internet?
Aren’t you able to create a video or write something that you could share and connect with even one person?
Don’t you have an amazing ability with colouring, or Frisbee or telling jokes or something that others keep telling you that you’re great at?
Don’t you keep hearing a voice on the inside that you know is telling you the next step?
Life isn’t as complicated as you’ve been lead to believe. Just start from the place of those things that are already obvious to you.
