"How abundant are the good things that You have stored up for those who fear You, that You bestow in the sight of all, on those who take refuge in You"- Psalm 31:19 (NIV).
Psalm 23 says God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies, He anoints our head with oil, our cup overflows (v.5). That's two verses that tell us that God will let the world know who His children are by showing them favor. Then why aren't all His children wealthy, healthy, with good jobs and intact families? True those are measurable blessings, but God has more intended for us, blessings that cannot be measured. There are earthly treasures we seek, but Heavenly treasures await God's children. Was Jesus well off and well to do while He walked among us? He could have been, but nothing on earth enticed Him like the heavenly treasures He was used to and was soon returning to. Earthly treasures held no luster that attracted Him; It would be like us desiring to eat mud after feasting on exotic delicacies. The watching world will one day see the abundance God has planned for His children. Let the world enjoy their mud. There are delicacies awaiting us.
