“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11)
Growing Dominion, Part 91
“In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble” (Prov. 15:6).
Blessings are blessings and curses are not. This is simple enough to understand when we are only dealing with the material substance of the blessing. In other words, health is a blessing. Money is a blessing. A warm house is a blessing. But in this fallen world we also have to deal with the variable of righteousness and unrighteousness, and the problem of transition between having a blessing and not having it.
That principle is addressed in this proverb. The revenues of the wicked (blessings, considered in themselves) are not blessings but rather troubles to the wicked. They can be troubles when they come and when they go. The righteous, on the other hand, knows what it is to be content in whatever situation he is in, whether well-fed or hungry. As a general rule, the righteous receive the blessing of (comparative) wealth. But even when they do not, they are still blessed. And when God gives this blessing, He adds no trouble to it.
