Wrongfully gained money may not just mean receiving money for wrong-doing. Perhaps ill-gotten gain can also be categorized by gaining too much too quickly.
I’m sympathetic toward the millions whose homes are being foreclosed due to the economy (and perhaps unwise management in many cases). Even folks like Evander Holyfield and Ed McMahon are having their homes foreclosed.
I know we should beware wrongly gained money, but the point I take today from this proverb is a positive one, “Trust in earning your money little by little.” God says it will grow and grow…in other words it’ll get “appreciated” more and more.
