Summary: Proverbs 1:32 "... the prosperity of fools shall destroy them." 3 John 2 KJV Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Genesis 39:2 And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man, and he was in the house of his master. - Never aim at money alone! - Aim instead at a prosperous soul! - Are you a roof first believer? Meditation in the Word gives you back the time you give up and more besides. Joshua 1:8a NKJV This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. - Meditation produces God-inspired activity. Joshua 1:8b NKJV For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. - You can want the right thing at the wrong time. Psalm 37:23 NKJV The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in His way. Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 but His delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law, he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. Meditation is our way of saying, "Lord, I put my mind into Your hands." How can we put our eternal destiny into God's hands without also trusting Him with our minds? 1 Timothy 5:17-18 NKJV 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain" and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages." Luke 6:38 "Give, and it shall be given unto you..." When you focus first on the quality of what you are exchanging, the quality of what you're receiving will catch up!

The best way for me to love God is to meditate on His Word!
