In Proverbs, chapter fifteen, verse six, though the home of the righteous individually and corporately may lack earthly riches, it does contain spiritual treasures that greatly enrich and sustain the lives of God’s people, as in verses sixteen through seventeen, “Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” By contrast, the home of the wicked may deal with trouble and strife.
The beginning of the theme verse, “In the house of the righteous is much treasure.” Those who serve God in spirit and truth will experience the presence and peace of God. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, as in Philippians four, verse seven. However, this is not to say that believers will not face difficulties, but they will be able to overcome them spiritually through Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, the end of the theme verse, “but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.” Although the ungodly who are wealthy have no issues financially, they may experience problems physically and spiritually.
A true story between two neighboring houses on a street. Both newlywed couples moved into their new homes: one godly, the other ungodly. The godly had structural issues with their home, while the other did not. Ten years later, the ungodly neighbor moved, while the godly family remains. One visitor came to the godly house, and she said, “I feel welcomed.”
On the other hand, the other house, twelve years after the ungodly family left, had four owners at that time, and all followed the same pattern. In and out of the house, with no one functioning as a normal family.
