Yesterday I spoke of the dangers of being lazy. Laziness will rob you of your purpose and destiny. Conversely, diligence will empower you to rule in life, industry and ministry. Proverbs 13:4 reveals that the diligent shall be made rich. One must realize that the principles and laws of increase and prosperity are there for anyone to utilize them. God desires that we prosper and be all that we are called to be, but we must cooperate with these principles and laws. God rarely gives us the finished product. He gives us many different kinds of seeds to sow into our future: seeds of wisdom, ideas, raw materials, investment possibilities, relationships, thoughts ands words. It’s our responsibility to use these seeds wisely. If we diligently work with and carefully invest what God places in our hands, we will continuously prosper and increase. That is the difference between the lazy and diligent person.
Proverbs 13:4 – The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
