Proverbs 28:20 A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
The “if” condition for receiving an abundance of blessings is being full of faith. This promise motivates us to be faithful. A faithful person is both full of faith in God and because of that he is faithful to God and people. He is a Christian who will abound with blessings. All of the blessings we enjoy are not always immediate or visible; but they are spiritual and real nonetheless.
A Faithful person is balanced with a person who “makes haste to be rich.” This one is an unbeliever who is faithful neither to God nor to others. The phrase implies a person who lies, cheats, steals and takes bribes, but he simply is not full of faith nor faithful. He doesn’t, like David, trust the Lord to act in His time and His way. In a word, he is “not innocent.” Thus he cannot abound in blessings.
It is helpful for us to trust the Lord to be faithful, and when we trust we become more faithful, in place of leaning on our own understanding. We let go and let God.
