Genesis 8:20-22: After the flood God reversed the curse to the ground. “I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake.”
Tho’ mankind still had sin nature, God made a covenant with mankind and all the animals and with planet earth.
20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Wow. That’s God’s love and grace in action. Years (centuries) later God took care of mankind’s “heart” problem and evil imaginations due to sin nature by taking on the form of man in the person of Jesus Christ!
So. We can prosper – spirit, soul and body. No excuse.
Shalom – nothing missing broken or lacking in any area of life!
