Prosperity

Prosperity

Psalm 1:3
Excerpt
For all who take their delight in living by God’s Word, there is prosperity. Under the image of a fruitful tree, the psalmist declared that whateverthe righteous do will prosper (cf. 92:12-14). Two qualifications need to be noted. First, the fruit,that is, the prosperity, is produced in its seasonand not necessarily immediately after planting. Second, what the godly person does will be controlled by the Law of God (1:2). So if a person meditates on God’s Word, his actions will be godly, and his God-controlled activities will prosper, that is, come to their divinely directed fulfillment. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
