"Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness."
-Proverbs 23:4 (NIV)
-Proverbs 23:4 (NIV)
Sometimes we get caught up in seeking our fortune or trying to get ahead. It often turns out that the more we make, the more we want. We get caught up in a cycle of trying to earn more to get more. In the process, we can get worn out without reaping any true benefit!
Proverbs (23:4) reminds us that we shouldn't wear ourselves out trying to get rich. We need to rely on God. He has promised that He will provide for all of our needs. Even when we think we are clever and have figured out how to get more, we are just wearing ourselves out. Instead of getting weary trying to get earthly riches, we should rely on God to provide for our spiritual and earthly needs.
Don't get worn out chasing earthly riches, but trust in God to provide for all of your needs!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing for my needs. Help me to recognize when I am chasing earthly riches that only distract me and take me away from You. Allow me to have all I need and allow me to use it for the good of Your Kingdom. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
