“With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation”
God has given to his covenant people many promises from which they can live godly, satisfying and successful lives. We know that death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat its fruits (Prov 18:21).
What fruit would you rather be eating death or life? The answer is clear. Therefore, we should speak what we want to see even if our bodies are saying something else. Some people have families with short life span, as a result of sicknesses and diseases or tragedies of some sort. If we are not careful we will talk ourselves right into the grave. Jesus came to give life and that more abundantly, not just in the spiritual but also in the natural.
