Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-22

Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV) 22 The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.

Everyone loves blessings. They bring joy to us when we receive them.

Or it may seem that way at first.

Some blessings turn out not to be what we thought they were initially. Many things have attachments that we were unaware of until it’s too late.

And then that blessing becomes more like a curse.

That’s not so with the blessings of God, though!

The blessings that come from our Father in heaven make us rich.

Now, that doesn’t always refer to monetary wealth. Sometimes the blessings of God are way better than money or tangible things.

God’s blessings can often be things that we may have never thought of. But because He knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows exactly what we need. So, He bestows upon us something that He knows we need, and that He knows will be good for us.

As mentioned in the verse above, He adds no sorrow with it.

This means that it will never cause us any kind of frustration, stress or aggravation. It will bring only good.

It may require responsibility on our part to handle it properly, but the blessing itself will not be problematic.

I don’t know about you, but I prefer the blessings of God over the blessings of the world.
