Proverbs 10:4
Proverbs 10:4
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
Hard work yields profit, while idle talk leads to poverty. This verse teaches that there is value in labor, as each effort brings growth, experience, and provision. In contrast, relying on mere words without action results in lack. This message challenges us to move beyond intentions and commit to action, understanding that God values productivity. Labor reflects stewardship, where our time and talents are invested wisely. Let this verse inspire us to put our words into deeds, embracing the rewards that come from honest work. May we avoid complacency, recognizing that true profit is found in commitment and diligence. By working with purpose, we honor God’s design for a life of responsibility and growth.
Galatians 6:4
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Proverbs 28:19
He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.
1 Thessalonians 4:11
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.
Proverbs 23:4
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
