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
