Proverbs 10:22 - Blessings of the Lord and Real Riches.
Proverbs 10:22 - Blessings of the Lord and Real Riches.
Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV) The blessing of the LORD makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it.
In the valley of humiliation, where men depend on God to
teach them and to guide their every step, there is comparative safety.
But the men who stand, as it were, on a lofty pinnacle, and who,
because of their position, are supposed to possess great wisdom--these
are in gravest peril. Unless such men make God their dependence,
they will surely fall.
Whenever pride and ambition are indulged, the life is marred,
for pride, feeling no need, closes the heart against the infinite
blessings of Heaven. He who makes self-glorification his aim will find
himself destitute of the grace of God, through whose efficiency the
truest riches and the most satisfying joys are won. But he who gives
all and does all for Christ will know the fulfillment of the
promise, "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no
sorrow with it." Proverbs 10:22. With the gentle touch of grace the
Saviour banishes from the soul unrest and unholy ambition, changing
enmity to love and unbelief to confidence. When He speaks to the soul,
saying, "Follow Me," the spell of the world's enchantment is broken. At
the sound of His voice the spirit of greed and ambition flees from
the heart, and men arise, emancipated, to follow Him. {PK 60}
