Matching Grace!

Beloved, I pray that in every way you may succeed and prosper and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]. 3 JOHN 1:2 AMP

God is interested in our whole being and the entirety of our life's journey, not just the destination. If the world places great importance on the issue of physical health, and would demand so much resources for maintaining the semblance of sound health, what matching price do you think God would place on spiritual health and wellbeing? Personally, i believe that today's extract indicates God's ultimate desire for all who claim to know and follow him, and underscores the importance of physical, mental, psychological and spiritual well being.

Success here is not defined in monetary terms, but on the source of your life's decisions. The physical is tied to the spiritual, and the spiritual gives an insight into the state of the physical. Prosperity here is not as defined by what you have, but by who you know. Health here isn't a function of the name of your hospital or personal physician, but on your knowledge of the One called the great physician. Check your life status once again, and confirm where you stand. If you are not properly connected, it does not matter how much you have now, or how much you know. If you do not have the right inner content, it does not matter what your outer situation reads. You could have the best of the world; if God does not have the best and the rest of your life, then you may come to the end of your physical life in perfect health, yet have nothing to draw on for your eternal life.

Don't forget: John's prayer for the physical was tied to the spiritual. In all of my life's pursuits, I must remember this. Don't pursue the physical at the expense of the spiritual and don't keep your eye so much on the eternal that you forget to be relevant on earth where you have been planted to thrive. His time of favour is here.
