"He who walks righteously and speaks what is right, who rejects gain from extortion and keeps his hand from accepting bribes, who stops his ears against plots of murder and shuts his eyes against contemplating evil, this is the man who will dwell on the heights, whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. His bread will be supplied, and water will not fail him." Isaiah 33:15-16 (NIV)
The prophet Isaiah told the people that a good Christian man's character and conversation will lead to his safety and his comfort because The Lord will protect him and provide for him.
We need to understand that some blessings are conditional, our actions will determine whether or not we receive them. Those who walk in God's way, who follow His Word, will be blessed with benefits that are not afforded to others. Those who fear The Lord shall not want for anything, all of their needs will be supplied. Belief in, reverence for, and submission to The Lord will result in His blessings of protection and provision.
