The Hand of the Diligent Makes Rich!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have diligent hands. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Bruce Springsteen lyrics to Badlands tell us, “Poor men wanna be rich, and rich men wannna be king.”

Being poor can result from many causes. One is not working.

Proverbs 10:4 (ESV) has an important message about wealth.

“A slack hand causes poverty,
but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”

What is one thing you can do today that by doing it things will be better? Take action to do one thing after another. If in doubt about how to be diligent, learn from Scripture and from others. Watch videos to learn techniques to improve in your trade or profession. Start being more diligent today. Promise when you get riches, you will be willing to give back.

God’s Promises?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the generation of the upright will be blessed. In Jesus’ name, amen.

At the time it was written, Psalm 112:3-8 (ESV) tells us that he who followed God’s commandments was promised the following:

“His offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.”

What a list of promises. It is well for a man who conducts his affairs with justice. Follow God. Are their things in your life that need to change? Ask God’s guidance for what he recommends for next steps. Take a leap of faith.
