Our verse is Isaiah 3:10, “Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds” (ESV). I want to put it together with Psalm 37:19, “[The blameless] will not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they will have plenty” (NASB).
No matter what is coming on the world: war, famine, economic depression, pestilence, or whatever evil may come, there’s something you should know. It will be well with you. If you are in Christ walking in the light of His salvation, you are righteous, blameless in His sight. Remember, Abraham and David and Noah and others were blameless in God’s sight.
God’s got special vision for those who have given their hearts to Him. If you are righteous and blameless, then it will be well with you. You will have when others lack. He gives food to those who fear Him (Psalm 111:5). Your blessing won’t be just for you, but to share, to show the Lord’s goodness to others. In times of danger, you will be protected. He will be a shield. You will be able to lie down and sleep because He keeps you in safety (Psalm 4:8).
How about these Psalms? Psalm 84:11: “For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly” (ESV). Psalm 5:12: “For You, LORD, bless the righteous one; You surround him with favor like a shield” (HCSB).
We could quote many more Psalms. Learn the Psalms. Remind yourself of the Lord’s goodness toward those who are His. And choose to be His. Give yourself to His love and care, to His keeping.
