The Worth of Having a Little
My dear son,
Whether you have much or little entrusted to you, I treasure your heart. It delights me when you care for what you have honestly earned and share it lovingly. Do not lose your integrity chasing a life that looks impressive from outside.
A little gained rightly is worth more than wealth accumulated by harming others. Possessions cannot measure the size of your life. I am the God who upholds those who seek what is good. Trust that care and live honestly.
This evening, look kindly at what is already in your hands instead of counting only what you still want. Ask honestly for what you need. You are my child, worth far more than your possessions.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 37:16–17
WEB16Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
A short reflection
The psalmist teaches that the righteous person's little is better than the wealth of many wicked people, whose strength will fail while the Lord upholds the righteous.
