“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way you should go.”
Isaiah 48:17 NASB
What is profit? Well, in a strictly economical sense, it is the money you make after you pay off your initial investment and your overhead. Like product and salaries. If there is no profit, the business will fail.
I read this verse last night and I felt such a strength in God's tone. Ownership. Fathership. "You are mine. I will lead you. You can trust me. I will teach you to live an abundant life."
There is no profit in meager possibilities. It behooves us nothing to live in lack. Even more, it behooves others nothing for us as believers to live in lack. Fiscally, lack of character, lack of love. We will fail if we don't have more than enough; enough to spill it onto others. Profit.
It's said that hurt people hurt people. The opposite is also true. Healed people heal people. Freed people free people. Blessed people bless people. FORGIVEN PEOPLE FORGIVE PEOPLE.
That last one is so important. I see so little grace and love is in the world. If the Church truly knew how much she is forgiven and loved, how could we impact the world?
The goodness of God is waiting on us. 😊❤️
