What a great promise in the first few verses. If we keep God's commands in our heart, he promises us a long life and prosperity. How long is not said, and the prosperity talked about here is not the cheesy "name-it-and-claim-it lay your hand on the TV set and send me $100" kind.
No, God's economy is so different from ours. His lasts for all eternity and is ultimately concerned with things that also last - like the souls of men and women. Wouldn't it be great to be prosperous in the true Godly way?
Well, there's so much more in this chapter - I hope you will add your comments on what you found in it!

Hey, I had to jump start these comments by adding Verse 27: "Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act." I think this is great advice that will guide us to make decisions not based on what I am allowed to do, but on what I should do.
What do others think?
