"The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and He adds no trouble to it.”
— Proverbs 10:22
Many of us tend to believe that every opportunity that comes our way is from God—that if we simply grab it, success will follow. But sometimes, what looks good on the outside can actually lead us into destruction. Why? Because God loves us and has chosen us. And because of that love, He will never allow us to walk into something that will harm us.
There are moments when it feels like God has turned His face away, especially when we face struggles and adversity. But the truth is, He is drawing us back to Him. He is shaping our hearts, teaching us to trust Him, and removing what is not from Him.
When the time comes that He sees we are ready—humble, faithful, and aligned with His will—that is when His blessings flow abundantly. Imagine if God answered all our prayers during the times we were still arrogant, impatient, or far from Him. Would those blessings not bring us more trouble?
Learn to wait. Let God move first. Let Him change your heart before He places the blessing in your hands. His timing is perfect, and His gifts come without sorrow.
