Want To Be Abundantly Blessed?

"A faithful man will be richly blessed, but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished."  Proverbs 28:20 (NIV)

This saying is from Solomon, the wisest man to ever live.  He said the man who is faithful to God will be abundantly blessed.  He also said that the man who is primarily concerned with getting worldly riches will be punished.

If we are faithful to God and in our walk with Him, we will not only be blessed, but we will be abundantly blessed.  If we first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all the other things will be given to us. (Matthew 6:33)   He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)  And those who diligently seek Him will gain His favor. (Proverbs 11:27)  However, we should also be aware that if we seek worldly riches instead of seeking God, even if we get rich, we will be cursed.  So, if we want to be abundantly blessed, we should faithfully seek and follow Christ.
