Trouble chases sinners, while blessings reward the righteous.

TROUBLES & BLESSINGS

a poem by ILMA

There are people who constantly suffer

They are beset with so many struggles

Sins and bad choices can lead to troubles

It makes one trapped in the rubbles.

Those who are righteous and holy

They seek and give their hearts to God solely

Blessings pour out in their lives continuously

THE SIGNS OF SIN AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

There are many people who live their lives encountering many troubles. I knew someone who never had a day without it. There is always some mishap one after the other. I think most of us encounter trials and hardships as a result of wrong choices and decisions. A lot of people attribute it to bad luck. They believe some people are automatically lucky.

Proverbs talk about troubles and blessings.  According to it, trouble chases sinners while blessings reward the righteous. When we are beset by troubles, we must reflect on how our heart is. Is it pleasing the “self” or God? Trouble can be a manifestation of sin. On the other hand, blessings are signs of righteousness. God blesses those who are righteous and faithful. He protects and shelters them from harm.

PRAYER

Lord, allow me to seek you always to stay out of trouble.

REFLECTION

Are you full of troubles or blessings? How can you turn life around when there’s trouble?
