Proverbs 22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Since the time when Covid caused the Feds to lowered interests rates to nearly zero, in order to stimulate the economy, interest rates have skyrocketed, and persons who did not, or could not get their foot into the door of opportunity, are finding it very difficult to do so now, because to many individuals and many families, that window of opportunity has all but run its course, at least for the foreseeable future.
Therefore, just to reiterate our first lesson again, so that we never lose sight of the fact: God in His great kindness will at times grant folks material blessings, meaning that at times He will open the windows of heaven, opening the window of opportunity, and it is His will that as stewards of His goodness, we will make manifest the wisdom that is born of God.
[Christ’s Object Lessons pp 343] Religion and business are not two separate things; they are one. Bible religion is to be interwoven with all we do or say. Divine and human agencies are to combine in temporal as well as in spiritual achievements. There must be co-operation in everything embraced in Christian activity.
Proverbs 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
