Our wisdom today is from Proverbs 10:3.
“The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked.”
This verse is a core tenet of biblical wisdom: God actively cares for those who follow His ways.
This proverb promises not luxury but sufficiency for the righteous. It reassures them that God will provide for their basic needs, fostering trust in divine provision. This encouragement to righteousness is balanced with a warning to the wicked. God will frustrate their cravings—often excessive or immoral desires.
This proverb doesn’t guarantee immediate reward or punishment but rather speaks to God’s overarching care. It challenges readers to consider the long-term consequences of their choices. By contrasting divine provision with divine opposition, it urges reflection on one’s life path.
Ultimately, this verse invites us to trust in God’s care and to pursue righteousness, knowing that such a path leads to divine support.
I love the quote by Spurgeon, “He who feeds the birds will certainly feed His children.”
