Whatever He Does Prospers

"He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. "
~ Psalm 1:3

This may seem and sound too good to be true that it seems to be invalidated in a Christian's walk on earth. There are many verses in the Bible that says the wicked shall prosper but not quite the righteous, in fact the Christians often suffer afflictions. Some examples are:

“Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!”
~ Psalms 37:7

“Evildoers not only prosper but they put God to the test and they escape”
~ Malachi 3:15

However, the seeming incoherence are not quite pointing to the same exact thing about the prosperity referred to in the above.

One thing for sure, is that God's Scriptures and promises assured us of our victory in Christ is sealed and that all labour in the Lord is not being in vain. The verse "in all he does, he prospers" actually direct our attention to the undeniable unshakeable finished work of Christ Jesus in whom all prosperity lies.
