"Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness." -Proverbs 23:4 (NIV)
Many of us probably have "to-do" lists. Whether we write down our lists or keep all of the list of items in the back of our minds, we have things we need to do. As we set out to accomplish these things, we should be careful to not wear ourselves out or to rely too much on our own cleverness!
As we set out to complete our list, we need to rely on God. It is through God that we will receive what we need. God's support goes beyond anything we could devise on our own and exceeds any riches we would hope to attain. Instead of wearing ourselves out for temporary, earthly riches, we can turn to God for eternal riches. We can achieve more for God's Kingdom without wearing ourselves out as long as we rely on God!
Don't trust your own cleverness or get worn out, but turn to God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your guidance and wisdom. Help me to always turn to You and follow You to eternal glory and riches. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
