(i worked on this post a few weeks ago, thus the delay in some dates)
As God would do---and has done a Multitude of times in my life...on Sunday (10/30/11) after I wrote the above 3 parts for these posts, He delivered this Word to me during church. Chris Tomlin read it to us before the service and I felt as though God was speaking directly to my heart.
Pslam 84
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
LORD Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
LORD Almighty!

LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
they are ever praising you.
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, LORD God Almighty;
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield, O God;
look with favor on your anointed one.
10 Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless.

blessed is the one who trusts in you.

not much more to say on that one. God’s word is clear. No matter what we think is or is not “enough”
“No good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless”
Gonna ask for Him to “bestow his favor and honor” upon us which may or may not look like “wealth”.
Love the way my God delivers His word so clearly when I actually listen
