The Key to Prosperity
for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Proverbs 3:2
Many will claim this and other similar verses in Proverbs as their “key” to prosperity. It’s sad really, especially as it relates to the broader church around the world. Some of the most prosperous people I know have only the clothes on their backs and live in huts. Why do I say this? Because they realize that there is more to prosperity than wealth and riches. Many of those same people have had their “riches” torn away from them by armies and corrupt governments, and they still have a solid, not-looking-back faith. One of those nations is Haiti.
When you hear the news about the faith of Haitians (and they will continue to appear in the news for some time), pray for them. Pray that their faith will be strong, and their fragrance would be notable (2 Corinthians 2:15). Pray also that others watching the nation rebuild will marvel at the faith of those who believe.
