Key to wealth…

“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything your land produces. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with the finest wine.” -Proverbs 3:9 and 10
This is the key to wealth. If we understand that all we have belongs to God it requires us to be good steward over all he has given us. What are you doing with what the Lord has entrusted to you? He says if we honor him with the best part, then he will fill…and overflow.
Now the question is, how do we honor the Lord with the wealth we’ve been given?
Be wise.
A proverb a day: Proverbs 13:18

Criticism can be harsh sometimes but sometimes it’s just what we need. In this particular proverb God let’s us know what happens when you do not pay attention to criticism.
“If you ignore criticism, you will end in poverty and disgrace; if you accept criticism, you will be honored.” Proverbs 13:18 NLT
When criticism comes either with malice or with love, accept it, listen to it, you never know it could actually be valid. You may be hurt at that moment, but in the long run you will be honored. Ignore it and it may well be your down fall.
