The Generous Hand of God

For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

I had never thought about God providing for my needs in the way expressed by Matthew Henry. “When we follow after the Lord, He helps us attain what we need. It is a grace from God, and therefore directs us to expect it from the hand of God and pray to Him for it. Because riches are a blessing or a curse to a man according as he has or has not a heart to make good use of them.“
