STOP AND THINK – Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just having money or things. (Chinese fortune cookie)
We really didn’t need a fortune cookie to tell us that—or, did we? In modern American, it seems that prosperity, indeed, may simply mean more and better—more physical assets, better and more possessions. But, the proverb reminds us that we can have prosperity of heart and mind by living for the eternal and spiritual rather than the temporal and material.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20)
