A Proverb a Day: Proverbs 14:23 Stop just talkin’ and get to work.

Now this is the second day in a row that the word “work” has jumped out at me, and I love it.  I love especially the way it reads in the King James Version: “In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury[lack of money].”

This tells me again that it’s not about how much you talk about what you’re going to do, but it’s all about what you get about doing.  It is the doing that preceeds the profit.  It says, “In all labour…”, that means in all the types of work you do, what follows it, is profit.  From mopping floors to directing billions of dollars, if you’re working, you’re profiting.  It doesn’t matter at all if you just talk a good game, if you’re not playing the game and playing hard, your life will be headed for poverty. 

So stop talkin’ and get to work.

Be wise.

    No excuses! Many people want to wait until they’re ready, or until the circumstances are better, but we’re running out of time!

    God doesn’t call the perfected,He perfects the called!

    Bless God! and get busy!
