Abundance and Prosperity Require Faith in God

by Daniel N. Brown

Are you believing God for something and see no evidence of
anything taking place? It can be frustrating. Especially when you
feel like you are in great need for God to act NOW! 

I used to wonder what God was doing when I needed Him most. I
certainly didn’t see Him doing what I thought He should be doing.
But, you know, we are to live by faith, not by sight. Hebrews
11:1 says, ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.” 

I believe that if we accept the fact that God’s ways are higher
than our ways and His thoughts are deeper than our thoughts
(Isaiah 55:9), we can trust that he has our best interest in mind
and he is working all things for our good. “For I know the
thoughts I think toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). 

We must believe without a doubt that we will have a good
future, that we will be guided to the right situations at the right
times, and that we will see our dreams come to pass. We will,
if we believe, because our faith can move mountains!

God has a great plan for each of us according to his or her
own unique gifts and abilities (Jeremiah 29:11). Therefore,
we must trust that He is working all things for our benefit
according to His plan (Romans 8:28). It's just a matter of faith!

The Bible says, “Without faith, it is impossible to please God,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He
is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb 11:6). So,
decide to have faith in all things. Believe everything will always
work out fine no matter what anything looks like.

So, if your frustrated because you are not yet living at the level
of abundance and prosperity that you want to be, just relax!
Sometimes it's just a matter of getting out of God’s way. We
need to stop trying to always figure things out. Quit reasoning,
and let Him do His work in you and through you, making you
perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

During the times when we don't see results, be assured, God did
not forget about you. He’s busy behind the scenes. So keep on
believing and doing the things you know you should be doing and
soon you will reap a harvest if you don’t give up (Galations
6:9).
