The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare. Proverbs 21:5-6
Another verse today about being diligent and hard working. When you work hard at something, and make plans for the future, it will often lead to prosperity and happiness. Fail to plan, and make hasty decisions and you will end up with poverty. Worse yet, a fortune made through a “lying tongue” is never as good as you thought it would be.
Work hard, be diligent and ethical in all your financial dealings.
