What The Righteous Desire

Proverbs 10:22-24 – The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it. A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom. What the wicked dread will overtake them; what the righteous desire will be granted.

Proverbs 3:10 – Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

Psalm 9:18 – But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

Matthew 5:6 – Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

Application:

  • ·         For those who bring to the Lord His tithes and offerings, God promises to pour out more blessing than they have room for.
  • ·         Those who forget God will come to nothing, but the needy and afflicted will not be forgotten by God.
  • ·         “Hunger and thirst for righteousness” means have a deep longing for both personal righteousness and justice for the oppressed.
