Proverbs 10:2-3
Treasures of
wickedness profit nothing:
but righteousness delivereth from death.
The LORD will not suffer the
soul of the righteous to famish:
but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.
Getting things
by doing things against the Lord’s plan will never result in getting ahead over
all. If you believe that the Lord has
called you as a woman to look well to ways of your household and train your
children in the way that they should go and yet take on a job at the expense of
forsaking this calling, it will profit you nothing. Most likely all of the money you earn will
end up being squandered away leaving you tired, your home out of order and nothing
financially to show for it. On the other
hand, if you fight to prioritize your life according to the Lord’s standards of
importance you will find yourself paced in a way that protects your home from
destruction and sinful choices that result in death and decay.
When
we put the Lord first and seek to do things His way, our souls will not famish. To
be famished is to hunger. It is not just
a desire but a hunger - a true lack of nutrients to be sustained and
comfortable. The Lord will satisfy our
hunger with things that truly satisfy and nourish. He will not allow us to suffer from an inner
hunger when we are seeking to do that which He considers righteous. Any hunger you and I feel must be directed
towards seeking the Lord’s will on a matter.
As we do this we will truly be fed and will lie down in green pastures
with plenty to take in and share with those around us.
