Righteousness is the Key to Unlocking God's Blessings

This is an important lesson I've learned from Proverbs 10.

verse 3
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry,
     but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.


verse 6
Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
     but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

verse 24
What the wicked dread will overtake them;
     what the righteous desire will be granted.

When I read these verses, I understood what happened in the past. I realized I was living an unrighteous life that was why I didn't get the things I desired. Although some of the things were not really meant for me, some were clearly would have been given to me had I been obedient to God.

Now, the Lord has opened up another opportunity for me to earn more money. I'm going to take the important lesson I've learned tonight. I'm going to desire righteousness rather than wealth and success. I'm going to obey God and his commands, so that there will be no barriers between God's blessings and I. I'm going to pursue the Source of the blessings rather than the blessings...

Having learned this tonight, I made a promise to God that I'm going to give back to Him 10% of the income of my online shop. To God be all the glory. Amen!
