Lamentations 3: 40-66, Lamentations 4-5, Hebrews 1, Proverbs 10: 21-30
Proverbs 10: 22 (ESV)
“The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and he adds no sorrow
with it.”
I like verse 22 from Proverbs 10. Solomon tells us when you
have the blessing of the Lord and it brings you wealth, no sorrow comes with
it. I think this happens because it means you have discerned the wisdom of the
Holy Spirit, and you have followed God’s plan for you and your life. The Bible
tells us that God wants the people who have faith in him to have a life of
abundance, and when you follow his guidance abundance will come to you. I know
for myself that it is so hard to sometimes follow God’s guidance because it
seems so contrary to what I thought was right for my life. But God had a plan
and when I followed what he wanted even though I was full of skepticism, my
life turned out better and I became more abundant. And when I didn’t, my life went
sideways. So now I try to follow God’s advice, even though it’s not always easy
and sometimes I am kicking and screaming and gritting my teeth as I do what God
asks me to do. But I know if I don’t, then I will have sorrow in my life.
