God inspired the wisest and richest king to write witty sayings full of advise for us to prosper in every part of our life. The writings of King Solomon are practical, hard-hitting, current, and spiritual. There is not a better book for financial advise than the words of King Solomon.
Financial planners charge a bundle for their sometimes bad advise, but what would the wisest man who ever lived charge for answering not just financial questions, but questions about all our problems? $100 an hour? $300 and hour? Gods inspired wisdom from King Solomon's life is priceless and absolutely, 100% free! (Who doesn't love getting something free?).
King Solomon was incredibly rich, and he gave inspired advise to his children and citizens to be fiancially wise. Some of his rules are well known, but others are not taught in any business school.
Before you can save or invest money, you must earn it. Solomon emphasized diligence as a key to financial success. A lazy person will be poor, and there are many people who are poor because they are relatively lazy, of course not all who are poor are lazy. But the labors of the diligent man will acquire riches. Proverbs 10 verse 4 says, " He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the deligent maketh rich." Poverty or riches, the choice is yours! You will be faced with this choice for your entire life. The one who applies her self diligently to her family, career, home, or other duties will be rich, but the one who is a slacker, or is lazy, will be poor.
As Christians we should to be the most deligent workers in any situation. We have to show the world a physical example of focused energy, intense persistence, and careful zeal to do what's necessary to finish even the most unpleasant tasks. We should never consider the excuses of the slacker, as they are opposite of God's inspired wisdom given to King Solomon.
The Lord Jesus Christ himself was exceptionally diligent. And his Apostles followed His great example. In fact, Paul boasted in the grace of God that he labored more abundantly than all others.
Can you boast of your diligence?
