A Proverb a Day... #11

The first verse of Proverbs 11 sets the major theme for the chapter:

A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
    but a just weight is his delight. 

There is an emphasis throughout the chapter on wisdom in finances - both how they are obtained and how they are spent. These thoughts are skipping stones throughout, and then we get to a cluster in verse:
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
    the expectation of the wicked in wrath.
24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
    another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
    and one who waters will himself be watered.

When it comes to obtaining resources, there is a righteous way to do so, and an evil one.  It is good to be diligent and devoted, but not make the obtaining of wealth the most important thing in life.  Expecting to be rich is not spiritually healthy.  When it comes to using our resources hoarding and selfishness destroy our spirit, while being generous and blessing others is a wise investment, both in this life and the life to come. 

Questions: What things of this world do I want more than God? Am I being honest about that answer? Do I trust God to supply all my needs, but also prove to be a faithful worker?  Who do I need to share some of my resources with today?
