God is the beginning and the end of all things. He is the maker of all things in Heaven and on Earth. He created the seas and set the firmaments in its place. God has made the earth and has placed it under laws and principles for mankind to follow. And the observance of these laws leads to prosperity, while the ignorance or negligence of these laws beget pains, sufferings, and struggles. Your prosperity now and in the future is rooted in your obedience to the laws that God has made to govern the earth.
