S – What the wicked dreads will come upon him, but the desire of the righteous will be granted. 

Proverbs 10:24 ESV

O – Commentary:

By stressing repeatedly in Proverbs that disaster comes to the wicked and various rewards are for the righteous, Solomon sought to convince the uninitiated and naive that the long-range, not the immediate, fruits of wisdom and folly should be kept in view. Many wicked people dread calamity and they receive it! And the righteous often receive what they want, namely, blessing. God is the ultimate Source of both

Sid S. Buzzell, “Proverbs,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures, ed. J. F. Walvoord and R. B. Zuck, vol. 1 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1985), 927.

A – God is the source for both the wicked and the righteous.  Furthermore, he loves the both equally.  The difference is how he treats both of them.  The wicked are removed from his covering. He allows things to happen to them like a parent allows a child to experience pain – under their watchful eye but not preventing the life learning lesson.  The righteous ones he covers but also provides all of His resources as blessings for them to access – wisdom, understanding, knowledge and peace.  

R – Heavenly Father, you are righteous and true.  Thank you for the blessings and covering you provide for us Lord.  Help us to not just access your attributes but to develop them in our own lives.  Give us the discipline to move towards your righteousness today.
