Thriving for a follower of Christ is much more than building an earthly legacy. Thriving for a Christian is following Christ, being Christlike, seeking and yearning to be more and more like our Lord Jesus Christ. This is thriving, and if you have ever tasted this thriving, you know there is nothing like it. There is nothing to be compared to building a personal house, a life, that thrives on the love and fellowship of and with the Lord Jesus Christ. Outward prosperity is much more than wealth and building a wise house has little to do with earthly riches.
Some folks are wise, and some are otherwise.
