132 Bible Verses about Prosperity
There's a kind of prosperity that isn't of this world, not fleeting, that doesn't fade with time, but stays constant no matter what. It's the prosperity that comes from God, the kind that's eternal, the kind that isn't based on how much money you have, but on the growth of your inner self.
It's true that God wants you to prosper in every way, but this happens as your soul prospers, meaning, every time you overcome your fears and crises, you grow as a person and become better each day.
Joshua 1:8 says: "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." So many people prosper without having God in their hearts, but they don't enjoy that prosperity because they don't meditate on God's word. They prefer to stray from His commandments and statutes. In the end, they're just people who had a good run, but not the joy of living in freedom.
God doesn't want that for His children. That's why, before He makes you prosperous, He'll shape you so you don't lose yourself because of money, since "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." So, you need to walk according to the foundations the Father established in the Bible so you can live well and your path will be prosperous.
Love God above all else, let Him be first in your life, and He will be pleased with you, blessing everything you do, granting you favor with others, and His grace will be with you wherever you go.
