Psalm 144: Victory and Prosperity from the Lord

 

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord. Yahweh is our God; He is the God of His people. His people worship Him, praise Him, and trust in Him. When they do they will experience victory and prosperity.

As long as enemies threaten our lives and families and property there can be no peace, and without peace there can be no prosperity. So it is spiritually: we make Jesus Christ our God and Lord every day by repentance and faith; we confess our sins; we confess our sins are forgiven; we confess Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

This Lord, this Yahweh, this Jesus, teaches us to war, takes notice of us, shows up in our life, gives victory over sin, death and devil, grants health and prosperity to our family and property and business. God grants it all: my response is only to thank and praise, to serve and obey Him.

The logic is simple: Jesus is my Lord; the Lord Jesus is my God; blessed am I. Focus on Him, praise Him, trust Him, not the blessings, for they follow.
