Little with the fear of the Lord

Little with the fear of the Lord

(Verses 16 and 17 in Chapter 15 of Proverbs are clubbed together).

Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith (Proverbs 15:16).Whatever we possess in this life, we should have fear of the Lord. It is better to have little in this world. If we have more properties and possessions, it will be very difficult to manage the same. Even if we have a little, we should have fear of the Lord. In this world, there are many multimillionaires ih this world. If one of them is not in Christ Jesus and has not given his treasure for charity reserving such treasure for him or her and for his or her future generations as necessary for their living, he or she will have perpetual trouble in his own house. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith (Proverbs 15:17).

When we have simple food with love among our family members, our food is better than a dinner in a five star hotel.

Let us have a simple life style even if we have no money to afford a luxurious life style. A Christian businessman should spend more of his business income for charity and for Christian missions. Otherwise, he will reap the whirlwind. Even if he earns legal income, spends it lavishly for himself and accumulates assets for his future generations without earmarking more of his income for charity and for Christian missions, he will be likened to the richman who found himself in the hell because he failed to minister to the poor Lazarus who was lying near his gate.
