Proverbs - His Blessings are Without Sorrow


Proverbs10:22

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



                    When the Lord gives us a blessing it is nothing but a blessing.  Every angle oozes with His fingerprints and His goodness.  Not so when we go after those blessings and take them ourselves without His leading and by our own might.  When we purchase something in our own willful rebellion when the Lord has said “Not right now”, you can be sure that there will be sorrow with it. If you are single and attempt to make a relationship happen because you think it is a blessing and you haven’t sought His leading, the ‘blessing’ will have unnecessary sorrow associated with it.  If you stubbornly go after blessings you think you should have on your own terms, sorrow will accompany those things.  Don’t you want blessings that have no sorrow with it?  Then, wait on the Lord until it comes from Him with no sorrows.  He will get the glory. He does things absolutely perfectly and He will use that blessing to minister His love and favor in your life.  If you have stubbornly gone after things on your own, bow your heart before Him and ask for His forgiveness and tender mercies.  Ask Him to use the sorrows you are experiencing to build into you a great fear and reverence for His leading and request His intervention to redeem and turn things around.  He is compassionate and longs to get involved in those things we have pushed him away from.
