Prosper and be in health
One of my favorite scriptures is 3 John 2 “Beloved above all I
pray that you would prosper and be in health even as your soul
prospers”.

Some think that prosperity is simply to do with money but 3
John 2 talks about being in good health, even as our soul
prospers. Our soul consists of mind, emotions and will. Our
Lord and friend wants us to prosper, to flourish, to be robust in
our emotions and in our thinking.

Here is a key.
“Be in health as your soul prospers.” I think this is one of the
reasons that the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:8 AMPC –
“For the rest brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of
reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is
kind and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there
is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take
account of these things (fix your minds on them.)

As Christmas draws close, and another year is heading
towards closure, let’s diligently take to heart these words of
Paul, and fix our thoughts and our minds on these wonderful
words of exhortation.
He who leads, guides and empowers, is the One Who causes
us to prosper and be in health; our Lord and Friend deserves all
the glory.

Shalom
