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.
Proverbs 10:5
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Proverbs 23:4
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
