Vision of the Blessed Rich

Individual levels of satisfaction in terms of finance and life in general seem to be on the downfall. More people feel that they are poor; the number of death by suicide is staggering. Proverbs says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepth the law, happy is he." Having the right vision is a critical step towards happiness and living the life that God has intended. Therefore, the author proposes a healthful direction for a happier and more abundant life based on biblical principles. After presenting a personal story about overcoming his financial problems, the author introduces the basics of the happiness and affluence studies. According to the taxonomy of happiness and affluence, each individual can be classified into one of four groups: the happy and rich, the happy and poor, the unhappy and poor, and the unhappy and rich. The author urges people to analyze where they currently stand and have a vision of the blessed rich by returning to the merciful Father through God's Words and continual prayer, so that we may be filled with the Holy Spirit as we move towards the blessed rich.
