Haste Leads To Waste

Good Morning!! Being in a hurry, is often the start of our problems, in so many areas of life. A quick observation of a situation without having all the facts may lead you to draw the wrong conclusion, there by making the wrong decisions. This is especially true in relation to money, as this proverb reminds us. If we are in a rush to increase our salary, or experience worldly success, we can easily make choices that will lead to greater, and more significant poverty, in this area and others. Many marriages, homes, hearts, and churches have been emotionally and spiritually bankrupted by an unchecked hunger for more profit, more money, more material success.

He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.—Proverbs 28:22 (KJV)

The one who is in as hurry to get rich, is here warned,...that the result will be poverty. This rush towards a set goal may lead to compromising standards of honesty, falling for "get rich schemes", or becoming a slave to a lender. The Bible does not condemn money,...but rather the love of it. God blessed Abraham, Jacob, Job and others to be rich, and many who have been so blessed have been generous givers and glorified God with their wealth. But to set riches as a goal, only leads to trouble. 

Do not rush toward financial gain; wait on the Lord’s good purpose, timing, and way.
This is not a wait of idleness, but a wait of expectation as one is busy doing what the Lord requires at the present.

God's way, always leads to true and lasting wealth,...allow us to wait, and do things God's way, and in God's time. This we ask in Jesus' name, Amen.

"Christians are ordinary people,...who are committed to the extraordinary person of Jesus Christ."
