Blessings Crown Our Heads

 

“Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.”

—Proverbs 10:6

In an episode of the television program The Big Bang Theory, entitled “The Shiny Trinket Maneuver,” Amy gets a tiara. And, she goes crazy. A tiara is something she has longed for all her life. It makes her feel like a princess. She begins to act just like a princess might act.

In Scripture, we who follow the pathway God has laid out before us, through His precious Son, Jesus, learn that in eternity we will be given a crown. We also learn that receiving this crown will so overwhelm us with our unworthiness, that we will lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus. We do this because we know that He alone is worthy. And, that all we may have accomplished in this life we have done so because of His mercy, grace, and enduring love.

King Solomon makes a specific contrast in Proverbs 10:6 when he writes these words:

Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.

God already crowns the heads of His children with righteousness. What more of a crown could we ever hope for or need? Let’s remember that as we begin another new day. Then, let’s follow the pathway God lays out before us, knowing that it leads to His righteousness and to His crown.
