you can be blessed today, you can have a prosperous future.
i dont know what prosperity means to a woman or anyone else, but to me a man, it means me being a wise and good competent husband and father. to me it means having wealth, it means being able to give my beautiful wife and children a beautiful home to live in, a warm home, a loving home, a safe home, a nice car, a dependable car, a car they arent ashamed of being seen in, giving them good clothing, clothes that arent hand me downs, clothes they are proud to wear. having great relationships with my wife and my children. giving them a feeling of security and coinfidence, giving them a feeling of happiness and joy. giving my wife beautiful dresses and beautiful lingerie and beautiful covers to sleep under, giving my wife a home she is proud to bring her girl friends over too. giving my wife strong arms that she feels good about having wrapped around her. giving my wife the kind of husband that she brags about. giving my children the kind of father they like to brag about. not seeing my children grow up with depression problems and social problems, but being children that are blessed.
it means me being a prominent upstanding member of society, me being a man looked up to and repected in my neighborhood, a man everyone knows looks after his family with abundance and with the utmost care, and with a ready sword.
it means me being able to keep my children away from porn hustlers and seeing that my children never get hooked on crack, and it means me being the kind of father they arent uncomfortable running too, becuase they trust in my strength and love.
it means me having a good Job, a job that can support a family and its desires. thats part of what blessing means to me.
and sometimes i am greatly worried because i want that for my future family so much...so much... the day i look forward to the most is my wedding day... ive got pictures of it on my wall... i want it so much...and i want to be able to give her the time of her life... a lavish beautiful honeymoon...and years of joy and security...and i dont see how it can happen for me in the natural.
but this scripture comforts me.
zechariah 3.7-8
thus saith the Lord of hosts; I thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou will keep my charge. then thou shalt also judge my house, and thou shalt also keep my courts and i will give thee places to walk amoung these that stand by.
Hear now O joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for behold, i will bring forth my servant the branch.
and thats the blessing of God. God giving him a place in authority, a respected place, a place of having wealth enough to watch over my household. God blessed him... the blessing of God is many things... but God wants to bless me, and God wants to bless you, and fullfill the utternmost desires of your heart.
and God keeps speaking to me while i pray and saying to me that hes going to give me this, if will stay true to him and walk in his ways. and that is just so comforting to my soul, to know that yes....i will have all those things.
