Proverbs 8:18-21
Riches and honour are with me;
yea, durable riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine
gold;
and my revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the
midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance;
and I will fill their treasures.
The
riches and honor that last are found in Christ.
He gives us those things that are better than any thing this world has
to offer. The profit we receive from
taking His Word and mixing it with faith can be drawn on throughout our lives
never diminishing in worth or value. The
Lord leads us in ways that are right and safe.
He wants our lives to bring Him glory and show this world that He judges
righteously. Our children should see a
mother whose decisions are not based on temporal profit but that which her
Maker deems as durable riches.
The
Lord leads us in ways that are right and judged accurately. We must listen to His counsel and trust that
along His paths are treasures and substance.
Substance can be seen and built upon.
The things of this world lack substance.
They will always evade us and our eyes will never be satisfied. When we choose the way of the
Lord and His will for our lives we may think we are lacking some things at
first, according to the world, but in the long run we will abide
satisfied. The Lord will cause those of
us who love Him to inherit substance. It
will just come to us. The Lord will fill
our treasures.
