I said to the LORD, “You are my Master!
All the good things I have are from You.
LORD, you alone are my inheritance,
My cup of blessing.
You guard all that is mine.
I will bless the LORD who guides me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I know that LORD is always with me.
I will not be shaken for He is right beside me.
You will show me the way of life,
Granting me the joy of your presence,
The pleasures of living with You forever.
- Psalm 16:2,5,7,8,11
The key to a life of abundance is the PRESENCE of the LORD. Indeed, the LORD is my portion, I shall not want!
When we observe all the chaos happening in the marketplace; when we look at families breaking up; when we see our friends getting seriously sick; when we quarrel with our spouse and face the pressure of raising children, we sometimes wonder how we can get through the week. GOD never created man to be independent. GOD used to walk with Adam in the cool of the day. Adam consulted GOD on everything. Enoch walk with GOD. So did Noah and Abraham. All through the ages, the men who walked with GOD were commended not because they were brilliant but because they walked in faith with GOD.
The only way you’re going to walk like your FATHER is if you walk with the FATHER!
