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.

Labor in Vain?

Labor in Vain?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. In Jesus name, amen.

How involved is God in your daily affairs? Do you only call out to God at times of extreme need? Or, do you pray, and ask his advice about daily activities?

God is present in every aspect of our lives.

Psalm 127: 1-2 (ESV) has valuable wisdom for all who will listen.

“Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious toil;
for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

If you haven’t already, take steps to integrate God into all aspects of your daily life. It should be comforting news to know that God is concerned about you rest and sleep.
