God does want His people to prosper, but not at the expense of their souls. That's why, in 3 John verse 2, he prays that Gaius would see prosperity in all areas of life in accordance with the prosperity of his soul. Guest speaker Ian Dunn reminds us that we must be worshipping properly if we want to see God's blessings poured out in all areas of our lives. And so, our top priority should always be the prosperity (the growth and wellbeing) of our souls.
