Send us a textSinners Wealth21 Trouble chases sinners,     while blessings reward the righteous.22 Good people leave an inheritance to their grandchildren,     but the sinner’s wealth passes to the godly.Verse 21Trouble is like an enemy who follows an evil man. The enemy will catch the evil man and attack him.This means that an evil person will suffer his punishment. He cannot avoid it.But success is like a friend who follows a good man. The good man will succeed. God will make sure of this.Verse 22A good man’s success helps other people. He will be able to help his children. He will even be able to help his grandchildren.An evil man tries to copy this. He stores his money. He thinks that he is very wealthy. But he cannot benefit from his great wealth. When he dies, he will lose it all. In the end, everything belongs to God. See Luke 12:16-21.Both proverbs draw a clear contrast between the bad things that happen to sinners and the good things that happen to righteous people. While we can find exceptions, these proverbs generally describe how Creation works.Motivation is important, too. People should strive to be righteous because they love Yahweh, not because they think it will make God reward them with prosperity. God is the Creator and we are His creations. We can't force God to do anything He doesn't want to do, and we can't fully understand His ways. Scriptures give us some insight, but we can't grasp all the ways God works.Let me ask you: Most of us have tried to make deals with God at some point, like saying, "God, if you heal my mother, I'll attend church regularly for the rest of my life." How did that work out for you?If you want daily truth in a raw, simple format… come follow us on TikTok at Wisdom for the Day — RAW.Real truth. Real moments.
