Sometimes, we want God to approve or accept our decisions so much that we try to make His word fit our situation instead of conforming to it.
As you consider God's word, don't just read one line and apply it. Look at the rest of the verse or chapter. The original Bible was not written in English either. Sometimes we need to look up words to discover what God was actually saying when He said it! For example, PROSPER. Our translation may lead us to believe that it is material wealth that God gives. While He may give us this, “prosper” in the Greek literally means “to help on the road” or “succeed in reaching.” Prosperity is much more than money! Imagine having unending joy and peace? That is what God wants for us.
Go back to what you have learned and then work to discover what God is really saying. You might not like it, but it will be for your good. ♥
