All things were done by God when He spoke the Word – His Son. Without Him, nothing would exist. When you hear Him speak, you have the power at your disposal to make what He says become real. Do not disregard the action of the Most High that begins in your life by giving you an understanding of His will. Whoever believes in the declarations of God sees His glory; therefore, the secret is to accept the Word.
It is necessary to accept the Scriptures, and not just believe that it came from God to help you. Whoever serves God must decide whether it will be hot or cold. If you do not give due attention to Him, it will be lukewarm, which will be spewed out of the Lord’s mouth (Rev. 3:16). The Almighty must receive true praise. A divided heart will never be accepted by Him.
Whoever fails to fulfill the Father’s will will achieve nothing. He who does not believe in the Lord’s testimony makes him a liar (1 Jn 5:10), and this is very serious. We are highly privileged to understand the Word. To whom much has been given, much more will be asked (Lk 12.48). Take care to serve the Father in a way that is pleasing to Him, not as if it were a favor. He is God!
The divine purpose is clearly revealed in the verse studied. He longs for you to live for many years full of victories, without frustration. However, for this to happen, accept the Lord’s determinations, which come with the power to do what they promise. Remember that we deal with Who is perfect in everything. Be blessed completely.
The promise does not say that you will enjoy any realization. As your years of life multiply, blessings will occur from the moment you become aware of them until the day of your recollection. For that, what does God ask of you? He is a Father and therefore requires you to simply accept everything He says, even rebukes.
An example of this was the Lord’s response to Hezekiah, who did not accept the idea of dying in his youth. This king turned his face to the wall and opened himself up to God, reminding Him of what he had done during his life with divine promises. Then the prophet Isaiah, who had told Hezekiah to prepare himself, as he was going to die, returned with the new message of life.
This king had another 15 years of life. Do not accept less than what the Scriptures tell you. After all, the Lord’s testimony deserves your trust. Don’t be confused! What you have heard is enough for the Most High to accomplish what concerns you. Be watchful and pray!
In Christ, with love,

Lord of the holy and blessed counsel! You would not speak to us by chance, but because you want us to know You as the One who wants our well-being. We will not be confused!
Give us the conditions to understand and carry out Your orders! We know this: without You, we can do nothing. Therefore, we seek the wisdom to not waste Your plan prepared for us, Your children.
You would never use us and then discard us. Father! We have learned that You are what you say you are, and we are what you speak about us. We want to see our days on Earth fulfilled!
