A Proverb a Day: Proverbs 14:23 Stop just talkin’ and get to work.
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Education, Inspirational, Money, Work on May 14, 2010
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.
A Proverb A Day: Proverbs 13:4 Do you want prosperity? Work hard.
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Education, Family, Inspirational, Work on May 13, 2010
Reflecting on this proverb today caused me to pause on this verse: “Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper and be satisfied.”
Just a simple statement, but so many of us fail to heed it’s direction. Even I have been saying to myself over and over these few past weeks. “Lance you’ve just got to work harder.” In everything you do, we need to do it as if it were our last day on earth; as if it were a job to complete for God. How would God rate your level of effort at your job? In your business? In your home? As a spouse? It takes hard work to maintain each of these relationships. I thought I was doing okay. I thought working smarter was better, at least that’s what I was taught. I am not encouraging anyone to not work smart, but I am encouraging everyone to work harder. Take a look at your level of effort, and if you can step it up, do so.
Remember there is a promise in the word today, “those who work hard, will prosper and be satisfied.”
Be Wise.
Our nation is greedy…
Posted by Lance Lawshe in Education on December 17, 2008
I think the reason we are in the predicament that we are in came about because of the American Dream taken to far. We have become a greedy nation, and I think because of this fact, we have become unable to satisfy the status quo, and keep up with the proverbial Jones’. I hope we soon will understand that we don’t have to have the biggest house in the world, but one that will accomodate us and our family.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 17:18-Don’t lend just Give

“It is poor judgement to co-sign a friend’s note, to become responsible for a neighbor’s debts.” -Proverbs 17:18
This word of wisdom is very true. I’m a witness.
When you’re co-signing or becoming responsible for some one’s debts you are in essence lending to them. You may not be lending to them directly the cash, but you are lending to them your credit worthy name.
I have recently been through an ordeal where I thought I was being nice to let someone use my credit, but in the end I was responsible for the debt. Because that individual did not come through with their end of the deal, I had to suffer the consequence.
After thinking about it I later realized it was my fault. I should have heeded this saying, “[not] to become responsible for a neighbor’s debt.” If I couldn’t afford to give it, I shouldn’t have lended.
Let me encourage you to learn from my mistake.
