The Proverb Challenge
Day 28
Committed and persistent work pays off; get-rich-quick schemes are ripoffs.
Proverbs 28:20 MSG
These days, I am worried about the ways people go about to get money. Don't me wrong, money is no bad but the way we seek to get money can be bad.
People are looking for shortcuts all over. Virtually everyone want to be rich over night, the worrying part of it is that they don't want to work for it. Gambling, lottery, get-rich-schemes are the order of the day.
A faithful man, who is true to God and man, “shall abound with blessings” from God and man. Not the possession of wealth, nor even the acquisition of it, is evil, but the eager haste of covetousness.
A very faithful man, that is truly so; that is so in a moral sense; true to his work, makes good his promises, fulfils his contracts, abides by the obligations he lays himself under; is faithful in every trust reposed in him, be it greater or lesser matters, in every station in which it is, and throughout the whole course of his life. Such a man abounds with the blessings and praises of men; all value him, and speak well of him: and with the blessings of divine Providence.
Be committed and persistently dilligent in what your work and surely you shall be rich. God want you to be wealthy as well but he doesn't want you to be wealthy through bad schemes. There are principles for wealth. Whosoever follows it shall be wealth.
One princple of wealth is Commitment and Persistence in solving problems.
Any ungodly ways to wealth is not only evil but dangerous. It doesn't last..
MAIN POINT: The possession of wealth, nor even the acquisition of it is not evil, but the eager haste of covetousness.
