Riches, Honor, and Long Life Without Bank Robbery
True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. Instead of chasing riches, honor, and power, Chase after God with a hunger that beckons the Lord’s intervention for whatever you need. Once we’ve conquered our unruly flesh, with its inordinate desires, we can become humble, more God fearing and begin the long life program for planet earth. It’s not just eating right and getting proper exercise which is important, but our relationship with the Lord is the foundation for all life to flourish and have quality while living (1 Timothy 4:8). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). So our referential fear of God puts us in a place of victorious living. To have a victorious lifestyle we must have the means and the strategy. The means comes from God, every need has been supplied according to God’s riches in Glory, which is more than enough (Philippians 4:19). The strategy for victorious living on earth is found in the study of God’s word and then putting that knowledge into practice in your daily life. True riches must be understood first before they can be obtained. Humility has a reward; riches, honor, and long life.
