When the Lord blesses, He truly blesses. There is no greater joy than to be blessed by the Lord.
"The blessing of the Lord, it makes [truly] rich, and he adds no sorrow with it, neither does toiling increase it." Proverbs 10:22, Amplified
True richness comes from the Lord. His blessing make a man truly rich. There is no sorrow or shame in the richness of the Lord either. A man who has lied, cheated and stolen to get to a place of richness in his own life may be ashamed of what he has done to get there. But the Lord is the Creator of all things, and in being the Creator, He has ownership of all things. The Lord has no need of lying, cheating or stealing to bless His children. Be not sorrowful when the Lord blesses.
Now the second part of the verse does not appear in the New King James version of the Bible; "neither does toiling increase it." Though it does not appear it is still a spiritual truth. There is nothing that human hand can do to increase the blessing or richness of the Lord. Human hands lie. Human hands cheat. Human hands steal. Human hands hide these facts. However, the Lord gives out of His own reserve and there is no sorrow.
