Proverbs 28:16 “He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his full of poverty.” This simple truth has been truth since the beginning of time. God has promised abundance to those who work and to those who do not work the opposite is true. If a person loves swimming and goes into a pool, he/she will not only enjoy the experience, he/she will definitely get wet. If a person enjoys thinking about swimming but never goes into a pool, neither the pleasure of the activity nor the experience of getting wet will ever happen. Is there a simpler truth?

Proverbs 28:14 “Blessed is the man who always fears the Lord, but he who hardens his heart falls into trouble.” How can anyone not live in awe at the wonders of God? From Creation to Redemption through Eternity there is not one person on earth who should not stand and marvel at the incomprehensible wonders of our Faithful God. Unfortunately, the world is full of those who are lost souls. Praise and thank God that He has opened your eyes, while praying for those who presently live in a world of sadness.

Proverbs 28:6 “A rich man may be wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.” Earthly wealth is very short lived. Practiced wisdom is not only a treasure while living on this earth, it is also an everlasting gift which will be enjoyed for eternity. To have our Heavenly Father at our side is a treasure of such untold value–it is impossible to measure. Earthly wealth can be a blessing, but wisdom is a far more valuable treasure.

Proverbs 28:6 “Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.” Being blameless or being perverse–that is the choice while being wealthy or having little is incidental. One could be poor and perverse or rich and perverse while another could be poor and blameless or rich and blameless. Usually those with wealth are admired, but God is telling us possessions don’t tell the story—character and the way a person lives life is what should be admired. Walking with our Heavenly Father at our side is the key to success.

Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Stability in life and death is an awesome treasure. Living in fear is never enjoyable. If a person lives with the assurance of his/her Heavenly Father constantly walking at one’s side, there is never an earthly fear which can shake stability. Without our Savior’s presence, stability, comfort, security and peace are never experienced and fleeting pleasure as a substitute lacks all the treasure a person could be enjoying.
