The Blessing of the Lord vs. the Wealth of the Wicked
Thursday, October 8, 2015
To those who trust in the Lord and serve Him with humility, the Scripture says,
"The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and He adds no trouble to it."Proverbs 10:22
But to the unrighteous, The Lord says,
"Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags. Your gold and silver are corroded. The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire. This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment."James 5:2-3
Which would you prefer?
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
— Colossians 3:23-24
