The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22)
Do you think the Lord will add sorrow to the blessing that He has given you? This verse says he won't.
If we cannot enjoy a blessing, can it be called a blessing? The answer is 'no', but only upto an extent because sometimes a blessing becomes a blessing only in the fullness of time. It's like a family inheritance that has come to your name, but you are still a minor and cannot really have authority over it until you reach a certain age.
Even regarding spiritual blessings, the fullness of some of these can be enjoyed by us only with the maturity that we attain in the presence of God. And maturity doesn't come easily. It takes years. It's a process and when we really do mature we are able to enjoy the depths of the blessing.
A woman who desires a child is overjoyed when she knows that she is pregnant, but the blessing has just concieved in her body. It has to grow, it has to mature, she has to wait before it really becomes a blessing that she can really enjoy.
What's that blessing that the Lord has given you but you are not able to enjoy to the full? Wait & pray, let the Lord do His work. He will make it a source of great joy in your life.
The Bible says,
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (
Philippians 4:6,7)
May God bless you.
