I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re meant to thrive — yet so many of us are just surviving. While I’m deeply grateful to have survived this far, it’s the knowledge and understanding of God our Father that convinces me there’s more. We weren’t created to live life on the edge of exhaustion, just getting by. We were created to thrive — to live from the abundance of His presence and purpose.
When God placed man in the Garden He planted, it had everything man needed. When He led His people to the Promised Land, it was described as a land flowing with milk and honey — where they could dig copper out of the hills, live in houses they didn’t build, and eat from vineyards they didn’t plant. Every time God positioned His people, He positioned them in abundance.
Then He placed us in Christ and blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places. This has always been His will, His desire, and His intention — that His children would thrive from a place of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and reverence for the Lord our God.
Thriving is part of the original blessing — “be fruitful and multiply.” It’s not just about producing things; it’s about living in a flow of divine life. From this place, whatever we put our hands to will prosper. The gates of hell will not prevail against us. We were created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
We’re not here to scrape by. We’re not here just to survive another day. We’re here to manifest the life of Christ — to live fruitful, multiplying, thriving lives that reflect the goodness and faithfulness of our Father.
Because His will for us has never changed.
We’re here to thrive.
