Numbers 7-8, Psalm 39

When you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume their wealth like a moth— surely everyone is but a breath. (Psalm‬ ‭39:11‬)

Biblical “wisdom” seems overly simplified here. True, God may dissipate a sinner’s wealth as a rebuke and as discipline, but not necessarily. In my experience God’s rebuke often takes other forms. God’s discipline may have nothing to do with a sinner’s wealth or everything to do with it. Each of us is unique. God deals with the sin of each individual as uniquely as each individual has been created.

Yet everyone is but a breath! Stop the breath and that’s it. Continue the breath and live. Thank You, Breath of Heaven.
