Prosperity and well-being is a blessing that God grants to those who live according to the divine law: "Who are they that fear the LORD? He will teach them the way that they should choose. They will abide in prosperity, and their children shall possess the land. Psalm 25:12-13.
The Bible tells us of a promise of blessing to those who please God. This teaching bears a resemblance to the beatitude of Jesus: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth", Matthew 5:5. An example of this beatitude are Job and King Solomon, for their devotion, God gave them after hard tests the good way and the safe life, that is, to inherit the earth.
The Old Testament sums up the duties of man: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind”, Ecclesiastes 12:13. The fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion, equanimity, stability) brings with it wisdom (precision and accuracy, progressive mentality): "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the wisdom", Proverbs 1:7.
Progressive mind, precision and accuracy, constancy are the keys to the economic and material prosperity of man. This is the correct path that the Lord wishes to teach us, the blessed path.
The wealth founded on these gifts is well-established wealth. Our path has spiritual light when our path follows the fear of God the psalm explained to us. Constancy is the basis, but also our decisions are assertive or wrong, there is no blessing for those who practice error (heresy): “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind”, Hosea 8:7.
God wants to bless us but not with that wealth that comes from greed but with that wealth linked to contentment.
There is a wrong established wealth that is separated from eternal life and immortality, that's why Jesus says: he who accumulates for himself accumulates for others, because no one has bought his life.
