We are pressing toward God’s promises as people who want something fiercely! But we must abide in Him. The Lord sets us on high in a place of authority and we can live in prosperity and peace with divine favor from the Lord. We do not have to lack in any area, because God blesses the work of our hands.

Now it shall be, if you diligently listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all of His commandments which I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (AMP)
