Their life is rooted in spiritual strength, enabling them to thrive in all circumstances. Just as a tree near a river withstands drought, the person of faith remains resilient in adversity. A life of piety generally prospers, as it heeds God's directions for success and warnings against waste. By following God's guidance, the righteous person brings forth fruit in season, benefiting themselves and others. Ultimately, their prosperity is a natural result of living a life devoted to God.”

“Declaring 'God is my portion' is a powerful statement of faith and contentment, reminding us that our true inheritance lies not in earthly things, but in God Himself. He is our sustainer, satisfier, and securer, and His presence is enough to stabilize us in times of loss. When we prioritize God above all else, we find true riches, even in the absence of worldly wealth. With God as our portion, we can wait on Him, obey Him, and trust in His provision, without panic or fear. Our motivation for following God isn't what He gives us, but who He is to us. In Him, we find enduring satisfaction and security.”
