Prosperity preaching flips Psalm 37 upside down — the psalm encourages those with little, not those seeking more

"Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked" (Ps. 37:16). The psalm is meant for people NOT experiencing abundance. Prosperity preaching inverts this by using the psalm to promise more material wealth. Briefly notes that not repaying borrowed money is labeled "wicked" in Psalm 37:21, connecting this to loan forgiveness debates.
