Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him.
Isaiah 51:2

Continue doing what is right, even when it doesn't appear to produce any fruit. Abraham waited a very long time for God's promises to be fulfilled, but his patience and faith were rewarded.

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
Proverbs 13:22 ESV

This requires that a good man accumulate enough wealth to leave an inheritance for his grandchildren and that the government doesn't steal it. The accumulation of honest wealth is a GOOD thing.

Then YHWH said to Abram, "Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years."
Genesis 15:13

God said that the Hebrews would be sojourners for 400 years. That entire time wouldn't be spent in slavery in Egypt. The 400 years starts at the birth of Isaac and continues until the Exodus. They were slaves in Egypt for much of that time, but also sojourners in Canaan for many years.

One gives freely, yet gains even more. Another withholds unjustly, and comes to poverty.
#proverbs 11:24

Despite popular mythology, almost all wealthy people say that generosity has been the key to their wealth. Generous people tend to gain wealth rather than lose it. Through their generosity, they gain good will, which often brings them more business and opportunities.

"How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein?"

Je 12

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns
Examine your heart and make sure that you have no ill will or unforgiveness towards anyone, for that would negate the blessings I have in store for you. This is an opportune time to get your heart and mind aligned with My word and My will, says the Lord. Be generous in your attitudes; there is no need to be snarky. Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

Isaiah 5:20, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter.” As our Creator is speaking through Isaiah he gives this warning so these are not Isaiah’s words these are the Creator’s words.

Prayer -- Day 2

Imagine

“Peace, I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”. (John 14:27)

Sit quietly, breathe deeply, and allow this verse to fill your mind. Divine peace is flowing through you. IMAGINE peace seeping into every pore of your being. Be silent... and do not be afraid.
