Proverbs 15.6 History provides sufficient examples of the principle of this verse. Where righteousness exists there is indeed great treasure in the home. It may not be in tangible things like material possessions or big bank accounts, but certainly in the intangible but seeable things like love, joy, peace, contentment. There is treasure in the home, the heart and in heaven for the righteous. That cannot be said of the wicked. They may have vast wealth, but through their wickedness there is trouble in the home, in the heart and in heaven for them. It doesn’t have to be. Through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross, Jesus provided a way to receive the treasure of eternal life and the rewards of heaven that await the righteous.
