Proverbs 15 KJV

We often want so much, and expect so much out our modern life. But this proverb seems to show us a different way to gain piece. Psalm 23 says that we shall not be in want. That dose not mean we cant have a desire, but its showing us that a continual state of wanting leads to sorrow.
The Lord knows what we need and if we can simply humble ourselves he will provide always. This simple acceptance can help us to find the blessings in what we already have instead of having that continual disappointment that we can get when all we see is lacking. The Joy of the Lord can sustain you.
Likewise, the wisdom of God shows us that every time we gain something there is a cost. When we go from renting a house to owning one, there are new responsibilities that we never would have expected. When you get promoted, there are more demands placed on you related to that position.
So, the love of the Father sometimes prevents us from having everything we want because the Lord knows that we may not be ready to handle the burdens that come with it. Also, the Lord tells us that if we our faithful with little we can be faithful with much. Just like a business, if the business grows to fast and the owner does not know how to mange properly, the business will most likely fail. What true father would allow that calamity to a happen to there son?
