Is It Worth It?

Proverbs 10:2
2Ill-gotten treasures are of no value but righteousness delivers from death.
The word proverb translated in Hebrew means oracle or parable and is used to describe truths of human behavior as noted under the nature of proverbs in the NIV Study Bible. King Solomon provided another truth from the Lord about anything not obtained the right way. It's of no value. It means nothing as it will not last. And because it was not obtained the right way it will lead to God's judgement. If you stole to get what you have, God's word says you will not have it for long. If you lied and deceived to get what you have, you will not have it for long. The means by which you obtain what is in your possession means a great deal to the Lord. Many believe "if I want it I shall have it". But the real question is, "Did God give it to you?" Is it worth it? Is what you obtained worth the price you will pay later? If the Lord desires for you to have something, He will provide the open door for you to obtain it in His time.
