NASB | Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil. [Job 5:19; Ps 91:3; Prov 12:13; Is 46:4; Jer 1:8; Dan 6:27; 2 Tim 4:8] |
Bible Question: This seems contradictory to me because the Word says life promises trials and troubles to make us stronger in the Lord. And people that try to live Christ-like get hit harder than anyone. Clarify? |
Bible Answer: I believe this Proverb can be answered on two levels. 1) If we trust God and keep his commandments we will go to rest with him where there is no longer any sorrow in heaven.John 14:1-3 2)If we trust God and keep his commandments we will enter into his peace and when we are going through troubles we will be able to rest in the knowledge that God is in control. 1Corinthians 10:13 Hope that helps, God's best |
