Proverbs 13:4 (NKJV) 4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.
Diligence is a big deal with God. He wants us to be diligent in all we do, from the smallest thing to the biggest thing.
God says that if we are diligent, our souls will be made rich. Did you notice the difference between what God says and what some others say?
Many people, including some in the church, will tell us that if we are diligent, we will become wealthy with material things. God says our soul will be made rich.
It’s important that we pay attention to this. Why? Because if our soul is rich, then and only then can we properly handle material wealth.
With material wealth there also comes a big responsibility. Most of us aren’t ready for material wealth when we think we are. And if we’re not careful, material wealth will ruin us in a hurry.
Sure, it makes some things a lot easier. But it can lead us into many, many snares if we don’t know how to properly handle it.
Let’s learn to become diligent, so our souls will prosper, before we worry about prospering with our finances.
Then, as we continue to be diligent, as God makes our soul prosper, so will He also help us to prosper financially, as He sees that we can handle it properly.
