The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Prov10.22 ESV
If God happens to choose wealth as our lot, and he certainly does not choose this for all His children, at least not monetary wealth, such wealth will not come wrapped in sorrow. The pursuit of money has stolen joy from the heart of many people. When God decides to bless someone with it, He gives to them even in their sleep. This is one possible summary of these words. Perhaps a better summary is that God has blessed all His children with riches, perhaps not the monetary kind, and there is no sorrow for the one able to see this. Indeed there is abundant joy, when we know the wealth that surrounds us and our greatest wealth may just be, the power to see it. How great is the joy when we can say with sincere and grateful hearts, “You have drawn the lines for me in pleasant places.” 6/26/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
