3 John 1:2
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.”
This verse quietly asks a searching question: how healthy is my soul? John could rejoice because his the reader was prospering where it mattered most, on the inside.
His outer blessings were wonderful, but his spiritual life was the standard by which everything else was measured. That turns our usual thinking upside down. We often ask if business is good, health is strong, or plans are working. God asks whether the soul is alive, faithful, and near Him. A full bank account cannot heal an empty heart. The richest life is a soul walking steadily with God, day after day.
I’m Lonnie Davis, and these are thoughts worth thinking.
Prayer: Lord, make my soul healthy, faithful, and close to You, so every outward blessing rests on inward strength today.
