To believe in the Lord is about more than just believing God and Jesus exist.

If you believe in the Lord, you will obey Him in all things and follow Him faithfully because you know your only hope for eternity in heaven is found in Him.

The definition of prosperity is: to flourish… to be successful.

Most would associate these things with their financial state, but it’s about a lot more than money. If you are happy and content, you are successful. If you enjoy good health, or good godly friends, you are successful. If you find fulfillment and satisfaction in what you do, you are flourishing and successful.

I know this to be true because there were times when we had less than ten dollars in our bank account a week before my husband’s next payday came around. In spite of our lack of finances, I felt completely fulfilled as a stay at home mom. We flourished as a family who loved the Lord.

Today my children are grown, happily married, and doing a great job parenting their own children. They are my proof that believing in the Lord (and teaching others to do so) is true prosperity.
