A blessing that does not add sadness with it

The blessings of the Lord do not bring sadness with them, but they make us happy because God Himself was the giver of them. God will not give us a blessing so that we be sad, but so that we be happy and so that we can enjoy them to the fullest.

The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 10:22

Let us do not believe that the blessings that we carry given by God will keep us in an immense sadness, now, when we get something that does not come from God, but was obtained from evil, because this does become a headache, and the reason is because it did not come from God.

But many people have not realized that when we receive, whether it is money or something material and that it came from an evil, that will turn into sadness and we will not enjoy what we have received.

It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
Proverbs 10:23

We must remember that the Word of God tells us: that the ill-gotten money is not enjoyed, but that just as you got it, it will get out of hand. God does not like that people do evil to others to get something or to take away what they have achieved with effort.

The learned and wise man does not act with bad intention against their neighbor, nor can become master of what does not belong to them.

The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
Proverbs 10:24

This is a promise that is fulfilled every day in our lives, the ungodly are only occupied in doing evil and in wanting to destroy everything of the just and what they think that will come upon them, but the just will be blessed and will not lack anything.

When we speak about the blessings of the Lord, we are referring to something much deeper than simple material goods. A blessing from God encompasses peace, joy, stability, spiritual growth, and the satisfaction that comes from walking in His will. These are things that cannot be purchased nor achieved by human effort alone; they are gifts that come directly from the heart of God. This is why His blessings never bring sorrow, because their origin is pure and holy.

In contrast, the things obtained through unrighteousness often bring internal conflict. There is no peace in what is stolen, no joy in what is obtained deceitfully, and no security in what is built upon sin. The Bible presents this contrast clearly so that we may discern the source of what enters our lives. What comes from God produces rest; what comes from evil produces torment.

It is important to reflect on the fact that many people spend their lives pursuing achievements without weighing whether God approves of the steps they take. They may gain wealth, recognition, or possessions, but none of these things guarantee happiness. Proverbs teaches us that only what comes from the Lord truly enriches our lives. This enrichment is not limited to the physical realm; it includes the strengthening of character, the growth of faith, and the building of a relationship with God.

A fool considers doing evil a form of entertainment, but this behavior reveals the lack of understanding in his heart. A wise man, however, walks carefully, avoiding anything that would stain his conscience. Wisdom leads us to choose what is right even when it is difficult, because wisdom understands consequences. Evil may offer quick results, but righteousness offers eternal rewards.

Furthermore, the passage assures us that the fears of the wicked will come upon them. This means that those who live in rebellion ultimately confront the very consequences they tried to escape. Meanwhile, the desires of the righteous are granted because their desires are aligned with the will of God. The righteous person seeks justice, truth, and the glory of God, and therefore God delights in granting what is in their heart.

Every believer should meditate on these truths. God blesses in His time and in His way, and His blessings enrich every area of life. Let us therefore walk in integrity, trusting that what comes from the Lord will always lead us to peace and joy, never to sorrow.
