This verse is the second half of the proverb that started in the previous verse. Verse 25 is about a lazy sluggard. I take to heart the warning to not be a physical and spiritual sluggard. God enables me and gives me his strength when I ask him to help me live His way and forgive me when I fault like an electrical circuit.
Whereas the first half is how not to live, the second half is the result of what happens when I live as God intends me to live. When I do the work of Him who sent me, God overflows my spiritual and physical vaults, then I am able to give without sparing. He promises that the righteous are prosperous, so they can share with those in need. (Psalm 112:8-10)
As Ephesians 4:7-8 states, “But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men.” And as Psalm 37:25-27 promises me, “I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed. Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.”
