As Thy Soul Prospereth

3 John 2

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

KJV

 
 

John was righting to his friend, Gaius, and in the introduction, this is what he said, and it was a challenge to me. If my body was in the same condition as my soul, how would my health be? God doesn't work that way. He blesses wicked people with health, and sometimes good people get sick. So, that 's not a good way to find out if your soul is healthy. Instead, we need to examine our relationship with God. Do we fellowship with God? Do we obey His Word? Do we believe His promises? Do we love His people as well as those who are lost in sin? Do we have a burden for lost souls? Do we witness for Him? These are all signs of a soul that is prospering. Is your soul prospering? Is mine?
