This is devotional thought number 48 in our devotional series titled, “Wisdom for the Ages.”
“The one who is lazy becomes poor, but the one who works diligently becomes wealthy.” (Proverbs 10:4, NET).
Solomon has a way of packing a lot into few words. In today’s proverb we find that reality displayed in living color. Are you ready to unpack it with me? Here it goes.
If you are lazy (God forbid), and embrace lazy practices, you can expect the natural result of slackness - poverty. Do not read anything into the wise man’s statement. He’s simply saying that if something’s too good to be true, it probably is. If someone offers you a way to make a boat load of money with minimal effort, run! If someone offers you a way to “invest” a few bucks with double digit returns in interest, run! If you think you can relax on the beach and sip non-alcoholic Mahi Mahis and succeed in life, forget about it. If you think you can put in minimal effort, in any endeavor, and win at life, the Bible says, “Nay-nay!” Nothing meaningful comes with minimal effort, especially when that minimal effort is characterized by a lackadaisical attitude.
Diligence, on the other hand, breeds success. All who prayerfully put in appropriate effort to accomplish our daily tasks will reap the blessings of such diligence. Our prayerful effort is naturally and spiritually rewarded with commensurate outcomes. It is our privilege, not to chase the mighty dollar or pursue riches, but rather to pursue God’s presence and His divine mind, which will net us the wisdom and ability to excel in ways our natural abilities cannot accomplish. There are so many rewards awaiting those who are holy and diligent. Our wealth can be measured in lessons learned, incomes earned, unusual efficiency, lives touched, families mended, wisdom gained, and much more. God has thousands of ways to increase His people so we will lack nothing if we will simply apply all our energies to seeking Him first and being diligent in all He allows us to do, never trusting in our own efforts.
A word to the foolish is wasteful. A word to the wise is sufficient.—L. David Harris (www.LDavidHarris.com)
