The issue I have with this has to do with the expectations it sets up.
The article states "The more you behold Jesus and His love for you, the more you will see His favor work for you", then proceeds to give examples of worldly "successes". Its giving the following equation: Loving Jesus = Favour and success in this world. This is simply not true.
The Bible outlines that we will encounter much suffering, opposition, and be hated in this world when we submit to Him and give ourselves to Him. Yes, when worldly circumstances do go our way, we praise Jesus. But if things do not go our way, we continue to praise Jesus.
Our worldy circumstances are not evidence of His love for us. We can produce a ton of good fruit. If the world decides to pick the fruit and enjoy it, great. But I find that it can easily go the other way... The world can pick our fruit and throw it at us (which actually strengthens our faith in Him). What doesn't change is the unshakable love He has for us.
One could have their lives shattered and seem cursed with nothing going their way. Does this mean they didn't "behold Jesus and His love" for them? Nope. Sounds like Job's friends, if you ask me.
Personally I do not need worldly circumstances to edify my love for Him. Loving Him is my reward. He is the treasure. Simple.
As this thread pops up now and then I have read this excellent post several times.
I'm not sure it conflicts at all with the OPs views, but it certainly echo's mine.
Although the Lord blesses us mightily every day, I do think there is concern, especially for the new Christian, misinterpreting the OP article.
They may not understand if a tragedy befalls them, that it could also be God's Will, for reasons we might not comprehend immediately.
Although Scripture is replete with examples of blessings and answered prayers, there are also examples of prayer not being answered in the way the person praying wants.
Paul prayed 3 times to have his thorn in the flesh removed.God said no.
The greatest example is God's Son, praying so earnestly He sweat Blood, that His Father would take the cup of suffering He was about to endure.
God said no. BUT the riches of His Glory will be bestowed on Him for following His Father's Will.
I pray that we rejoice in Him regardless of our earthly situation!
