Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it.
The hunger for wealth is more apparent now than ever before. People are working multiple jobs, numerous lottery tickets are being purchased, and people are being scammed on “get rich quick schemes” just to get ahead financially.
As we can see, through the blessing, we are not to pursue wealth, but wealth is to pursue us. What is the blessing? In short, the blessing is an empowerment to prosper. We first see the promise of the blessing in Genesis 12:2-3 when God promised the blessing on Abraham. As a result of the blessing, Abraham was extremely wealthy (Gen. 13:2). The promise of the blessing was not just to Abraham, but to his seed. The seed God was referring to was Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:16). If we belong to Christ, then we are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise (Gal.3:29).
Through Christ, the blessing is on our lives. With the blessing, we don’t have to stress or strain to get wealth. Without toil, wealth is promised to come to us. Does that mean we sit at home and expect a check in the mail? No. As we’re doing what God called us to do, the blessing causes us to receive unexpected promotions, ideas for inventions, and ways to save money. Receive the blessing and stop chasing money and let money chase you.
