POINTS TO
GET YOU THERE:
What kind of investment could possibly
provide such surefi re returns?
The Word of God.
Investing your time in the Word is the
wisest move you can ever make. It's the
secret to living in certain victory even in
the midst of an uncertain world. If you
fi ll your heart with God's Word about
prosperity, you can prosper even when the
market plunges. If you fi ll your heart with
His Word about healing, you can be healed,
even when the doctor says you can't. If you
fi ll your heart with the Word about your
inheritance in Jesus, even when the world
is going through times that are anything
but heavenly, you can enjoy "days of heaven
upon the earth" (Deuteronomy 11:21).
"Yeah," someone might say, "but you have
to remember we're living in the last days
and even the Bible says that in the last days
things are going to get bad."
I know. That's why we need to spend time
in God's Word! We need it to counteract
all the negativity we're seeing and hearing
around us. We need it to overcome all the
bad news and lies of the devil we're being
told. Now, more than ever, we need it to
remind us that, no matter how bad things
might get in this world, God's will for us is
always going to be good.
The Bible confi rms it time and again. It
says:
"The LORD is good to all: and his tender
mercies are over all his works" (Psalm
145:9).
"The mercy of the LORD is from everlasting
to everlasting upon them that fear him"
(Psalm 103:17).
"The Lord…daily loadeth us with benefi ts,
even the God of our salvation" (Psalm 68:19).
"As it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of
man, the things which God hath prepared for
them that love him. But God hath revealed
them unto us by his Spirit" (1 Corinthians
2:9-10).
No question about it: Our God is a good
