One Year Bible – Day 61

S – The Lord’s blessing enriches, and he adds no painful effort to it.

Proverbs 10:22 CSB

O –  Commentary: 

After the word “Lord” the Hebrew adds the word “it” for emphasis. So the first line reads, The blessing of the Lord, it brings wealth. The second line affirms the idea that wealth given by the Lord (to the righteous and diligent) is not accompanied by trouble, the tragedies of ill-gotten gain

“Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

“Enrich” – âshar, aw-shar’;  to accumulate; chiefly (spec.) to grow (caus. make) rich:— be (-come, en-, make, make self, wax) rich, make

, The New Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words

A – This applies to financial gain but can also all areas where we can accumulate.  We can add to ourselves in a Godly manner or use our own means to grow.  God’s blessing is accompanied by His purpose, presence and peace.

R – Lord, thank you for Your Blessings.  Having Your Holy Spirit leading us daily is huge.  We invite You to work on our behalf and ask for Your blessing today.  We want to grow in Your purpose, presence and peace.
