Dear Wisdom,
Please help us to extract the maximum benefits from the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament.
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9
Please explain. It appears that the world is full of rich and predatory people. People who steal from the rich or poor seem to thrive. Please explain the discrepancy in the above passage and what we see in real life.
Thank YOU!
Care to comment, Wisdom?
Answer
Giving money with the first crop is demonstrating a belief in God’s abundance.
It is not saying one will give only after all the money has come in.
This attitude shows a trust in God.
The Bible is not only written for the human but also their soul.
This soul needs help also.
When man bases his life on other people who seem to thrive against God’s teachings, the human is living only for the 3rd dimension, caring nothing for their soul.
What difference does it make if one died surrounded by wealth and earned no riches for the soul?
*The human experience is but a blink of an eye next to eternity.
Man might strut on earth, but it brings no joy to the spiritual world.
Don’t live just for man’s approval.
*Live with a trust in God and a belief that the Lord has your best interest for the soul’s journey through eternity.
Thank you so much, Wisdom, with joy.
You are welcome our little “clock”.
A clock can keep track of the passing moments in a day on earth.
The 3rd dimension is more controlled by the passage of time when in the spiritual realm.
It is good to be aware of the time but not obsessed with having to be controlled by trying to maintain total accuracy and plotting each moment.
Let time be your friend instead of an enemy.
Keeping track of the amount of time one has is healthy.
In today’s world, people become lost focusing on a project and don’t realize the amount of time that has passed.
Be aware but not obsessed with charting time.
You have eternity with the soul.
