“The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22)
While God’s promise in your birthday verse indicates you will experience financial success, your riches do not stop there.
Your life is enriched each time you embark on a new adventure. As the journey of your life follows a trail of twists and turns, you find millions of spiritual and personal treasures along the way. God has hidden valuable assets in places only you can find.
Fresh ideas, artistic expressions, intellectual designs, and spiritual insights appear to you during times when your journey seems uneventful and ordinary. God knows you get restless and bored easily, so He has hidden extraordinary treasures along your path to keep you intrigued.
Even your detours have brought you remarkable value. Your life is rich with deeply spiritual encounters, amazing adventures, and opportunities to share your wealth.
People who do what is right will have rich blessings. But the wicked will be overwhelmed by violence. (Proverbs 10:6)
Knowing that evil comes in many forms, you trust the Spirit to guide your intuition and provide you with a course correction if you ever start to veer off track.
Maintaining a firm sense of right and wrong, you reject the evil presence of hatred and prejudice. You do not exhibit pride or arrogance. You see through deception and place great value on being authentic.
You avoid temptations that lead to drama and chaos. Your sense of self is deeply rooted in your desire to do the right thing. You live by a set of standards which are compatible with God’s wisdom and your own personal integrity.
You have a precisely calibrated moral compass which gives you direction. You always seem to know the right thing to do in difficult situations. There are times when the wrong thing might be easier, but doing the right thing just because it is the right thing, is hardwired into your thought processes.
There are times you make the choice to do the right thing at the cost of a deep personal sacrifice. These are the times when you must trust in God the most.
Your personal sacrifices of time, energy, resources, and reputation are not a matter of giving in or giving up. These are sacrificial offerings to the Lord. You give as He directs and because it is the right thing to do. You trust Him to sort out the details.
As you place your trust in God, He places His trust in you. Because you are trustworthy, you are given great opportunities. Because you are responsible, you are given great privilege. Because you are generous, you are given great resources.
The sacrifices you make are an investment into the Kingdom of God. As you make each deposit, the spiritual principle of multiplication is applied, generating substantial gains and eternal reward.
