GOD DOES NOT GIVE SORROW WITH RICHES

WHEN YOU ARE BLESS MY GOD YOU MAINTAIN YOUR RICHES.  WHEN YOU OBTAIN RICHES ELSEWHERE AS A WICKED PERSON; YOU ADDED SORROW BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT ABLE TO PAY YOUR BILLS. WHEN YOU KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, HE BLESSES YOU, AND  HE MAKES YOU RICH. HE ALLOWS EVEN YOUR ENEMY, TO BE AT PEACE WITH YOU. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND, THAT RICHES IS NOT ONLY MONEY, GOOD HEALTH, GOOD MEMORY, SAFETY, AND OTHER THINGS... THE BLESSING OF THE LORD IS ALSO LOVING ONE ANOTHER. copyright (c) 2011 Catherine Gray Taylor

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich - Whatever we receive in the way of providence, has God's blessing in it, and will do us good. Cares, troubles, and difficulties come with all property not acquired in this way; but God's blessing gives simple enjoyment, and levies no tax upon the comfort.

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich,.... In the diligent use of means; see Proverbs 10:4; riches are from the Lord, and should be acknowledged as such, and not attributed to the industry, diligence, sagacity, and merit of men; but should be looked upon as had through the blessing of the Lord upon the labours of men; and when they come this way they come as a blessing, and with one: it may be understood of being made rich in a spiritual sense; it is the blessing, good will, and favour of God, that makes men rich in Christ; that bestows upon them his unsearchable riches; that enriches them with all spiritual blessings in him; that makes them rich in faith and in good works, and with the riches of grace and of glory;
and he addeth no sorrow with it; no sorrow goes along with the blessing, but what is a blessing itself, as one observes; riches enjoyed through the blessing of God are not attended with that sorrow in getting, keeping, and losing them, as the riches of wicked men unlawfully gotten are; see 1 Timothy 6:9; for as the good man comes by them easily, without any anxious care and sinful solicitude, he seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all these things are added to him, over and above, without much thought about them, or expectation of them, Matthew 6:33; so it is with great delight, pleasure, and cheerfulness, he enjoys them, and readily communicates them to others; while the wicked man is full of anxiety, distress, and sorrow; see Ecclesiastes 5:12. This is eminently true of spiritual riches; there is no sorrow attending them; the fruit and effect of them are peace, joy, and

Genesis 24:35 The LORD has blessed my master abundantly, and he has become wealthy. He has given him sheep and cattle, silver and gold, menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys.

 Pov 10: 22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
