Proverbs 19:23
The fear of the Lord leads to life; then
one rests content, untouched by trouble.
The fear of the Lord keeps me moving in the right direction
spiritually, towards eternal life, but also towards a richer and fuller
life. Part of that richness comes in the
form of rest and contentment in the face of trouble. We are not told here, any place else in
scripture for that matter, that our troubles will disappear. But this verse says we will rest content
because trouble will not touch us. That
word picture says to me that the trouble will not affect how I am able to
respond to life and its events. My fear
of the Lord will give me a richness of life that will be above the troubles of
life, and that will enable me to rest content in spite of any trouble.
