SF -- The Blessings of Wealth\ NEW - Light Messengers Podcast Gratitude\ Episode 2

"The blessing of HaShem makes one wealthy, and the wealth will come without anxiety" (Mishlei 10:22).

Neither hard work nor sharp business skills alone bring wealth to a person. The only cause of wealth is the blessing of HaShem. Even more, when a person enjoys wealth from the blessing of HaShem, he will be free of worry over monetary matters. The blessing of wealth that HaShem bestows upon the noble souls comes with ease and serenity. The righteous person has the correct attitude towards money. The prospect of wealth does not overexcite him. On the other hand, if his finances are diminished he does not become distraught. He realizes that if HaShem will bless him, he will regain his wealth with little effort. Conversely, if HaShem will not bless him, his schemes will be to no avail.

The righteous person is satisfied -- and happy -- with whatever portion HaShem sends him. He is content because he knows that if HaShem blesses him with wealth, the blessing of wealth will not cause him any anxiety.

(1) Reflect on the verse, "The blessing of HaShem makes one wealthy, and the wealth will be free of unease." (2) Adapt a relaxed and calm attitude towards money. (3) Feel contentment in your financial situation by realizing that if HaShem blesses you with wealth, the blessing will not cause you any anxiety.
