Don't Work to Be Rich

⁴ Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.

These are the words of the wise king, King Solomon, in Proverbs chapter 23. He tells us do not do a thing to become rich and the stop the use of our own wisdom! Why?

⁵ Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

When you work to become rich, you are setting your eyes on things that barely exist; and that can certainly be here one day and gone the next. Riches make themselves wings and fly away. As many rags to riches stories we have in our world, there is equally just as many riches to rags. This is because they set their heart on getting rich and forgot the other tangibles.

Peace and blessings have a great day today remembering those wise lines. Work to serve others, to help others, and you will become richer than you ever thought.
