Proverbs 21:5: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty” Work, hard work, and plenty of it is the only way to true wealth. Solomon also said: “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men” (Proverbs 22:29); and,
“All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied” (Ecclesiastes 6:7).
Without earning our own way, we become slaves.
“The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor” (Proverbs 12:24).
Jesus said there is more to life: "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you” (John 6:27).
