As the preacher read this psalm this Sunday, he said this is not a "guarantee of happiness" but then adds Holy Scripture does say elsewhere "I have never seen the children of the righteous begging for bread" so many preachers downplay these sentiments in the Bible:</span></p>

<p><span face="times new roman, times" size="4" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large;">There is a false health and wealth gospel that teaches if you become a believer, and then believe God will give you health and wealth that you will get it. That is a false version of the true version&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span face="times new roman, times" size="4" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: large;">Instead, Jesus taught us that we are not to be anxious about health and wealth, but if we would put the kingdom of righteousness first, then all these things will be added to us. That's God's promise about health and wealth which depends upon us not putting a priority on health and wealth, but on God and obedience to him.&nbsp;</span></p>
