Proverbs 10:22

It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and He adds no sorrow to it.

This scripture has been running through my mind for the last few days. It came to mind in a study I had with my children as I saw the Word come alive in a Bible lesson. It revealed itself to me vividly when my son came to me and said sin was like the fire in the fireplace, it consumes everything it touches. It came to me last night as my husband called and told me he would be late for dinner because the transmission went out in our only running vehicle on his way home from work. This scripture screamed out loud to me when the next morning we were able to fix our old truck for 129.00 that just happened to be in the budget and we found a rebuilt transmission for our suburban for 150.00 and we could pay it when our tax return came in!

The blessing referred to here is not just a financial one. It is a richness of life, of family, of love and of finances. It has been revealing itself to me in an abundance that is dizzying. So next time you feel you are facing something that is larger than you are, remember this promise, among the many the Lord has given us, The blessing of the Lord makes rich and He adds NO SORROW TO IT!

Praise the Lord forevermore!
