The Blessing is Collecting


Proverbs 10:22 Solomon speaks by the Holy Spirit saying "The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." The blessing brings wealth, but without trouble. Okay, so has God given you the blessing? Well, yes, Galatians says that Christ redeemed us so that the blessing of Abraham would be given to us. Now this blessing brings wealth, but then the balance is, that God adds not trouble to it." Why the balance? Can wealth bring trouble? Uh, ya, it can. But Jesus warned us that chasing money or making money our master would mess us up. And as the famous song points out "You can't buy me love.." :) In the scripture, notice it is the blessing bringing the wealth. You see it isn't you bringing it, it's God. You aren't your source, God is your source. So why is the blessing bringing you wealth? In II Corinthians 9:11 Paul writes "You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion." You see, when all your bills are paid and you have some joy, some peace, some love, and some extra dough in your pocket, then you can be generous to the needs of this world.  That’s right, I told you to give it.
