In a recent article, I referred to this scripture found in Proverbs,

“Where there is no vision, the people perish; but blessed is he who keeps the law.” (Proverbs 29:18)

In that article I focused on the first part of the proverb, and today I want to focus on the second half of the proverb, “. . . blessed is he who keeps the law.”

What does it mean, to “keep the law”? The scripture is referring not to man-made law, but to Divine Law.

We live in a Universe of Law, the same law that enabled Jesus to do the great works attributed to him. He said, “I came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it.” Jesus did not abrogate Divine Law, he simply revealed a higher potential of Divine Law or spiritual law that as yet humankind is for the most part unaware of. It’s really up to us to become more aware of spiritual law and its influence in our lives and affairs.

When Jesus said, “I came that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly,” he meant what he said. It’s up to us to have a greater awareness of God and have a greater demonstration of God’s good in our lives, for then we are “keeping” the law and we are truly blessed in every aspect of our lives.

Let’s take a look at a couple of examples in the scriptures which outline an important key to demonstration. The first is one of “keeping the law.” In II Kings, chapter four, there is the story of the woman who came to the prophet Elisha in desperation. She was a widow, and her creditors were threatening to sell her children into slavery. Elisha said to her, “What do you have in the house? And she answered, “I have nothing in the house, except a jar of oil.” He told her to borrow vessels from all her neighbors and pour out into these vessels from the jar of oil. She did this and filled all the empty vessels, and upon Elisha’s further direction she sold the oil and paid her debts and lived on the rest of the income. This was “keeping the law” through the working of the Law of Abundance.

The other example of Divine Law is a promise found in the fourth chapter of Philippians, where Paul says, “And my God shall supply every need of yours according to His riches.”

The Law is: There is abundance. The promise, or blessing, is: And my God shall supply every need of yours. The supply is always equal to the demand. But we must make the demand upon the supply before it can be received by us; in other words, we must provide the vessels by which the oil will be increased. You must create a demand so that the supply that is there can fill it. A need is a demand upon supply; it is a vacuum, and nature abhors a vacuum. Get rid of what you don’t want to make room for what you do want.

My wife and I are in that process as we speak, getting rid of some things that we don’t want so that new good substance can begin moving in. We are creating a vacuum.

Know this: whenever we dare to form a vacuum – whether visualized in the mind or in tangible form – the substance of the Universe rushes in to fill that empty space. This is a fundamental spiritual law. It’s a very simple principle, but it is very important.

Remember this – if you want to make change in your life, you must make room for the improvement. Root out those false beliefs and fears of lack, eliminate those thoughts. Make your demand upon the limitless supply. Blessed are you, for the promise is: God shall supply every need of yours.

Use the substance you have; make room for more to come to you. You are blessed indeed.

God is Blessing You, Right Now!
