A Prosperous Soul

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
3rd John 2

We pray for healing and finances, but how many of us pray for our soul to prosper? Here it is in black and white - the Truth of God's Word. Financial and physical health are conditional to the health and prosperity of our soul.

Understanding this truth should shift our focus to make spiritual growth our priority. In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus said, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." 
[emphasis mine]

This is NOT about gathering wealth and riches... at least, not by the world's standards. However, we will be rich beyond measure when we gather the gold of God's Word.

Spend time in His Word. Help others. Pray. Serve. Give. Forgive. Love. Prosper.

Prayer:

Father,
           Open our eyes to see true wealth, to store up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. We want to be found in You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
