Meditate On
The plans of the
diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to
poverty.
Proverbs 21:5
Don’t Be Hasty For Success
God’s wisdom in
today’s scripture shows us how to walk in increase: Be diligent. It tells us
that being hasty for success—unwilling to work steadily and with diligence—will
lead to poverty.
Beloved, God is
more interested in your long-term success. He doesn’t want you to turn to
quick-fixes to have overnight success. That kind of success is usually fleeting
and may come with a terrible price. God wants you to have good success that
lasts a lifetime.
So don’t be
hasty, but take time to be conscious of His love and grace toward you, and to
meditate on His Word to gain wisdom. Be diligent first and foremost in pursuing
or meditating on your righteousness in Christ and His favor on you.
When you do
everything on the firm foundation of His unmerited favor, you’ll allow His
Spirit and His Word to develop your character and enlarge your heart.
This will
make you wise and safe for increase and success.
BLESSINGS
JOSEPH PRINCE
