THE PROMISES OR BLESSING OF THE RIGHTEOUS FROM PROVERBS CHAPTER 10 -
1. Delivers from death - both spiritual and physical death. You may say that you know of many righteous who have died in tragic situations. This is true. God has set a time for all of us to die, but until His predestined time, we are under His protection. Many of us have no clue how many times God has delivered us from death.
2. He does not allow His righteous to go hungry. You would reply. I know of a lot of Christians who go hungry. Yes, this is true, but are they walking in God's righteousness and applying the biblical principles of stewardship. You can walk in righteousness and go hungry if you do not apply the many principles in God's Word concerning finances.
3. Blessings crown their head - spiritual, physical, social, and financial.
4. What he desires will be granted. this doesn't mean that God will give us our every whim, but He loves to give His righteous ones good things
5. Adds length to life. This doesn't mean all the righteous live to a ripe old age, but a righteous life keeps us from doing things that would harm our health and body. Many sins that man commits are harmful to their bodies. Also, many a wicked persons life is cut short due to their evil ways.
There is other blessing in the chapter, and much more could be said about them, but to keep this short. I will go no further. Today, I encourage you to live a righteous life.
