Weekly Bible Verse
Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. Proverbs 13:11 (NLT)
According to the Bible, there is a right and a wrong way to grow wealth. The wrong way, of course, is to employ get rich schemes and other similar methods. The preferred method is through gold old-fashioned hard work. Maybe that’s not exciting and it I’m sure it won’t show up in late-night infomercials, but that seems to be the tried and true way to do it – hard work.
Interestingly, note that this verse does not say that get-rich-schemes are not effective; you might not be able to generate some income from them. It does say, however, that wealth gained in that manner will disappear quickly. So, even if you are successful in using a short-cut scheme to make some money, it’s not going to sustain you for very long.
By the way, the Bible also teaches that there is a right and a wrong motivation for attempting to grow wealth in the first place – but that’s a topic for another day.
God bless and have a great week…
