Treasures and Income (Proverbs 15:6)

All of humanity is working to earn something. There is a goal, or a prize, waiting at everyone's finish line. What is waiting for you?

"In the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is great [priceless] treasure, but with the income of the wicked is trouble and vexation." Proverbs 15:6, Amplified

Notice the language for each one's earnings, if you can call it that. The righteous have a treasure and the wicked have income. Treasure is something that is not necessarily worked for. Yes, there is worked involved in finding that treasure, but the contents thereof are something that the current owner to not place there. However, the wicked work hard for what they get, their income is awaiting them everyday. The thing with a paycheck is that you do not necessarily know what you are going to get. If you are on a salary then this does not apply, but with an hourly job, the opening of a paycheck only reminds the recipient that he or she needs to work harder the next time. But the recipient of the treasure did nothing to add to the value of it's contents, therefore no matter what the contents, it will be a blessing.
