Re: Verse reading–Isaiah 52:13-15, Isaiah 53 (day seven) “Behold, my servant will prosper”–52:13. It is a truth that can be misused. Often is. Even so, it is hard to deny God’s promise to PROSPER those who serve Him.
“This book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have SUCCESS.”–Joshua 1:8 “Those who honor Me, I WILL HONOR”–1 Samuel 2:30.
As we resist the attempt to equate prosperity promised with material wealth (and we must), we must also resist the attempt to remove it from our expectations. “We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” shouts the New Testament (Romans 8:38)
Friend, do you believe that God will PROSPER you ( peace, power, spiritual progress and eternal reward) as you surrender to Him?
“Behold, my servant will prosper”–52:13. I can say the immediate benefit is peace in your heart when we serve God’s will. Who does not prosper if we follow and listen to Him? Thanks for the challenged question. Great reminder for conducting our life morally and spiritually!
