The Proverb Challenge: Day 10

The Proverb Challenge

Day 10

The blessing of the Lord , it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Proverbs 10:22 KJV

There are two types of riches in this world, the riches that has the blessings of the Lord and the riches that do not have the blessings of the Lord. The difference between the two types is that the riches without God's blessing is full of sorrow while the the one with God's blessing has no sorrow.

The manner and methods in which men look for riches is really incredible. People can do almost anything to get money. They forget that what makes a man wealthy is the blessing of God.

Riches are not gotten merely by wisdom or diligence, but also, and especially, by God’s favour and blessing. There are many way to be rich but there is only one way to be rich without sorrow. God blessings is always blessings. It lifts and never brings down, it increase and never decrease.

If those looking for money at all costs could understand that ill-gotten is a curse to them, they would not get it. God blesses and blesses without curses. He make His children rich without sorrow, he enlarges without trouble.

While it is good to desire to be rich, don't ever try to get it through unlawful and sinful method. Riches gotten outside God Blessing will always turn into sorrow.

Beware of those that makes money outside God's blessings, they don't last...

Main Point: Any riches outside God is always sorrowful.
