Mere Talk Tends Only to Poverty!

Mere Talk Tends Only to Poverty!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who toil. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Talk is cheap?”

One friend put it this way, “Big hat. No cattle.”

There are those who are all talk, but they do not take action.

Proverbs 14:23 (ESV) is about those who do the work, and those who are all talk.

“In all toil there is profit,
but mere talk tends only to poverty.”

Don’t look back on life and realize you missed opportunities to work hard and reap the benefits.

Make sure to take action. Do the work.

Tempted to Envy Evildoers?

Tempted to Envy Evildoers?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who might be tempted to envy and associate with evildoers.

Criminals can develop a reputation.

Some misguided individuals will actually idolize these bad people.

I once knew a man who had been an undercover police officer. His job was to aid in the arrest and conviction of criminals.

Proverbs 24:1-2 (ESV) warns against envying and even wanting to “hang out” evil ones.

“Be not envious of evil men,
nor desire to be with them,
for their hearts devise violence,
and their lips talk of trouble.”

Don’t envy evil ones and stay away from them. If are in proximity to someone who is evil, take action to flee.
