Psalms 72:
God, give your justice to the
king (Solomon). May he deliver and defend the cause of the poor and
needy. May he crush the oppressors. May his days flourish
and be peaceful. May he have dominion from sea to sea and other
kings bow down to him. May his reign be prosperous. So prosperity
is neither wealth or money in the eyes of God, but rather, contentment or
without lack. The poor and needy are not penniless, they are only
powerless against the legal domination of the wicked.
Psalms 73:
God is
good to the pure in heart. I was actually envious of the wealth of the
wicked and the arrogant. The wicked seems to be above the law, have
whatever they need, they increase in riches, are fat and sleek, and wear pride
as a necklace. They speak against heaven and the people turn to them and
find no fault with them. The wicked ask how God knows and if God has any
knowledge. God sets the wicked on slippery places where they eventually
fall to their ruin. I will hold on to God in heaven because I desire
nothing on earth. Those far from God shall perish. So it is the
peace of mind to serve God outside the realm of lack that is prosperity and not
earthly possessions to subdue lack. |

Psalms 74:
God, why have you forsaken us
and ignored the signs of your enemies. We neither see our signs nor your
prophets. When is God going to make things right in our favor?
God,
stand up and deliver the poor and needy. I still believe in your covenant
and you will deal with those who continually rise against you. God
delivers the poor and needy not because they need money or food, but rather,
because God does not want them to worry about the oppression and deceit of the
wealthy to keep them from worshipping him.
