“A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Proverbs 10:4
Diligence: the courage to focus on what needs to be done, and to do your best to complete it. Laziness is a common reason for poverty – not the only reason, but a common one. On the other hand, he who works hard to do his best leaves his riches firmly in the hand of God and gains the richness of His blessing. Even in the garden, we were made to work.
Praise You God most High! Thank you for creativity, ideas, and plans. May I always yield these to You and Your ways. Inspire and strengthen my hand and my will to do my best at whatever You put before me, in Jesus’ Name, amen.
