This is the day that the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! Save us now, we beg you, LORD! LORD, we beg you, send prosperity now.
The gates of heaven are open!
You were waiting, hoping. Slumped, perhaps, against the wall of want, knowing something was amiss, wishing for a taste of greener grass but not knowing how to get there. Now. Here. The gates have swung wide.
No longer are you imprisoned in sin, stuck in your addictions, lost in your loneliness, haunted by guilt, chained to repeating the same mistakes. Heaven is open to all the world, to all who desire God’s gift of Jesus.
Praise God. He has opened the door!
God planned the special day when Jesus was raised to life and set it into His itinerary long before it happened.
He made it so He could offer us a full life, a prosperous life, a life abundantly full of all the genuine goodness He has; life overflowing here on Earth and life eternal.
Today and every day, whatever might be right or very wrong with our world, we can rejoice with hope. God has a plan to save anyone who wants to be saved. There is an open gate in heaven for us.
Is it possible to be prosperous in ways that don’t involve money? What part of my life is especially prosperous?
Dear God, I rejoice in Your goodness and in Your love. Thank You for planning for my salvation. Thank You for saving me and providing for a prosperous life while I live here on Earth. I will praise Your glory forever. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
