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.
