Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

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. … Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do.

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered. … When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.

May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant. … But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

3Jh 1:2; Js 1:8, De 29:9; Ps 1:1-3; 2Ch 31:21, Ec 7:14; Ps 35:27, Mt 6:33
