Prosperity and vindication

I, the LORD, your God, teach you what is for your good, and lead you on the way you should go. If you would hearken to my commandments, your prosperity would be like a river, and your vindication like the waves of the sea; What a reassuring scripture passage! I like the idea of God leading me and teaching me. Granted, sometimes what may be for my own good may not always be pleasant! It's kind of like when my mom made me eat my vegetables - they didn't always taste great but they were good for me. And just like my mom did for me, I gave Frankie a small bowl of fresh spinach to eat with his chicken and rice tonight. He can thank me later. I had to look up vindication to be clear on its definition. Here it is: "to justify or prove the worth of" So there's a spiritual recipe for prosperity and worthiness: follow God's commandments. Thinking back over the course of our Sam Camp calls, these are two huge areas of growth for me. And that's why I think my 90-day goal is going to be so helpful. By reflecting on God's Living Word every day, I am rediscovering my own worthiness.
