Proverbs 13:4 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

"The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." (Proverbs 13:4 NKJV)

All provisions to fill all our legitimate Godly needs for living, as well as, favors to enable us to bless others are available in God's overflowing grace. A diligent person is one who does his part to get access to this amazing gift of God. The key is diligence, by faith in Christ Jesus. Not like a sloth man who just daydreams and expects his wishes will just drop from the sky.

The diligent is one who seeks to know the ways of The Lord. He meditates God's word day and night. He puts God first in His rightful FIRST place. Then, fully dependent upon His grace, trusting in His faithfulness, he cooperates with God in following the system of sowing and reaping.

Fully surrendered to our Heavenly Father, we (who believe in Jesus and do the work) are likened to the farmer in our Lord's parable of the growing seed- "He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” (Mark 4:26-29 NIV)

Let's be diligent, and scatter the seeds. By His grace, God will do His part and take us to the harvest. Apostle Paul exhorts us with this reassuring promise: "He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness." (2 Corinthians 9:10 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
