Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. It is God’s desire for you to succeed!
All of us want to be successful, yet so few of us are. According to the Social Security Administration, only 2 percent of Americans reach the age of 65 financially independent. Of the remainder, 30 depend on charity, 45 depend on their relatives, and 23 have to work the rest of their lives. “Even as your soul prospers,” from the above scripture, means that the spiritual realm controls prosperity in the natural realm.
Prosperity and success begin in your thought life and in your decisions. You decide which emotions will rule your life. You decide to accept defeat or to climb the unclimbable mountain. You decide to feel inferior or to say, “I can do all things through Christ.” That’s a decision process. The Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7.
Success is not accidental. It is a byproduct of your attitude, and your attitude determines your attainment. Your attitude toward God determines the eternal destiny of your soul. Your attitude toward people will determine whether you are a friend or a foe. Your attitude toward wealth determines whether you will ever have it—and if you get, whether it will destroy you or make you happier.
