Diligence........ Hardwerkendheid/Pligsgetrouheid.....


He who labours diligently need never despair.......,
- for ALL things are accomplished by diligence and labour......!

The plans of the diligent lead to profit. -Proverbs 21:5

Scripture tells us to rely on God and wait for/upon Him. 

It tells us that He has blessings for us that we can't earn and that He loves to give gifts to His children.

But there's another principle in the Bible that we shouldn't ignore: the principle of hard work.
The book of Proverbs instructs us to look to the ant, who has no "overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest" (6:7-8). 
If we want a bright future—if we want to enjoy benefits in the short-term as well as the long-term—we have to put our nose to the grindstone and do work....that produce some Results!

So while it's important to wait on God and look SOLELY to Him for provision, perhaps one of the best things to do while we're waiting is work hard...!

I Thank God  for the multitude of Daily Blessings in my life. 
But I do need to also pray, -DAILY,
......... for a Spirit of diligence and commitment to attend to the tasks as it is 'put' in front of me....


Shalom ....Maranatha !
