Theological / Devotional

Inheritance. The good man considers others and builds up a good inheritance to pass on to his children, but the sinner spends on himself that which he should preserve. The evil man may defraud the righteous of his wealth and property; but it returns, sooner or later, to the family of the good man (see Ex. 12:35, 36; Job 27: 16, 17; Prov. 28:8).
