S) "22 It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich,
And He adds no sorrow to it."
Proverbs 10:22 (NASB)

O) God is not out to trick anyone. He's not trying to pull a fast one or use a bait and switch. God is not a prankster. When He blesses someone, when He gives wealth, there is no catch that makes the blessing bitter. This is not how grace works. This is what Jesus meant, when He said that God blesses even better than a good father (see Matthew 7:11).
A) With God, all things are possible. When I see something that looks too good to be true, I can almost be certain it is not. Unless that something comes from God. With Him, I can completely trust His blessings. The blessings He gives do not cost me anything. It isn't even really accurate to say that His blessings require my obedience or allegiance, because He blessed me even while I was His enemy. he is good beyond compare, but not beyond belief. The more I recognize His blessings as they are (totally good), the more I trust Him.
P) Father, You are completely holy, even in Your goodness. I would only love to bless my children, but even the way I love them doesn't compare to how You love me. Open my eyes to see Your blessings clearly. Open my ears, to hear Your voice and know Your promises. Help me to trust that what You give me is for my good. Let Your will be done. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
