A Benefit

Love you all, praying for you.
 
I just love God’s Word.  It is so direct.  And every instruction of the LORD – has benefits.  Proverbs 12:24 – Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.  Wow.  The foolish ignore instruction, they don’t recognize it, or consider it.   The wise listen and learn, they take heed.  Diligent hands will rule.  They will be bosses, owners, directing the actions and activities of others.  But those who lack diligence, who are lazy - end up in slave labor – working to enrich another.   What is diligent?  #1) What you do daily. And #2 What you finish completely.  What is lazy – not just sitting on the couch all day… but never establishing the habits required of diligence.  They work now and then, but not consistently, not purposefully.  They never establish diligent habits, and they never finish things, or do them fully, completely, with excellence.  How diligent are you?  Do you teach your children to be diligent?  Do you require it of them?  Do you want them to rule, or be slaves – whose labor enriches another man’s house.  First know what to be diligent in.  Diligence in Tarsus doesn’t help you – when God told you Nineveh.  Know what God told you to do daily, and what God told you to do today.  PiVAT before dinner is the start of diligence.  His Word gives you understanding in it.  So you rule in righteousness – all that God has assigned under your jurisdiction.  Diligence has benefits – one of which is – you gain autonomy, you get to make some decisions, rather than slave labor whose decisions are made by others.  Praying that you will review the PRISM Topic – Diligent.  So God can establish you in that precious possession of a man or woman.  Diligence.  There’s joy there!  It will establish you and your family in all that God desires for you to walk in. 
 
Love you all,
