The above scripture is prophetic. It is alive, active and every person whether they are a believer or not, lives by this scripture. Life is framed by this scripture in many ways. You might say, how so?
There are two types of promises in the word of God. The promises that you want, and the ones that you don't want. There are blessings mentioned in the word of God, and there are also curses mentioned in the word of God. Blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. You might say how so?
Read Deuteronomy - Chapter 28
However to lighten the conversations, consider the words of Jesus.
Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Blessings, in the Words of God
