Blessing

"The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it."Proverbs10:22

The blessing of the Lord, of course, makes us rich. Whatever we receive definitely, has God's blessing in it. No snags or troubles, or difficulties will come  along with all the property / wealth acquired. God's blessing gives simple enjoyment packed with peace and no tax is levied upon the comfort we enjoy.

All riches  comes from the Lord, and we should  acknowledge that and  it is not attributed to the diligence, meticulousness, wisdom and merit of men. No need to boost about the riches acquired in a  back-door method or  in a different route and it does not contain a perfect blessing from God.

True riches consist in having the blessings of the Lord, for there is no sorrow attending the Lord’s enrichment. But often the riches of the world are accompanied by great sorrow because they may:

•          Have been obtained in a wrong way -with evil motive
•          Have become a source of idolatrous trust. –with selfish greedy nature
•          Cause one to lust after forbidden things. – with disobedience to God’s law
•          Going  back from the faith-  due to lack of faith.
•      But godliness with satisfaction is a great gain.

“For we brought nothing into the world, and
 we can take nothing out of it.
 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and 
a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that
 plunge people into ruin and destruction.
 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
 Some people, eager for money,
 have wandered from the faith and 
pierced themselves with many griefs.  (1 Timothy. 6:6-10).

·         Because of constant anxiety,

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment (1 Timothy 6:17).

Wealth is not the key to happiness, contrary to what many think, for most of the desirable things in life cannot be purchased by wealth—salvation, peace of mind, health, happiness, heaven, etc., but these are all the gifts of God, who gives more to us while we are sleeping than we can earn ourselves.

"Unless the LORD builds the house, 
   the builders labor in vain. 
Unless the LORD watches over the city, 
   the guards stand watch in vain. 
In vain you rise early 
   and stay up late, 
toiling for food to eat— 
   for he grants sleep to those he loves. (Psalm. 127:2)

PRAISE THE LORD
