Theological / Devotional

Handleth a matter. The first clause may also be translated, "He that giveth heed unto the word shall find good." Thus translated, this verse states a vital though well-known truth. If any man gives due heed to the Word of God, he will not fail to prosper mentally, spiritually, and physically, and find happiness in all that he does (see John 13:17; James 1:25).
