RIGHT THOUGHTS PLUS DILIGENCE WILL CAUSE YOU TO PROFIT You will find a secret to make sure you profit in the future and protection to keep you from failure! You will experience MIRACLES ... real miracles! âThe thoughts of the diligent surely lead to profit; and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.â [Proverbs 21:5] Notice that in this proverb it is easy to first think of it as saying âWhoever is diligent will profit.â Even though diligence is usually rewarded and a persevering, conscientious spirit will provide results, there is a double caveat: No. 1 - Do not be hasty; and, The Hebrew word for âhastyâ used in the proverb is the word âutzâ and means âto press, to hurry, to withdraw.â How many times have you lost money because you did something too quickly, or made a rash decision? The Hebrew word for âthoughtsâ in this passage is the word "machashabah" and means âintention, plan, device, imagination, purpose.â Actually, the root form of the word means "contrivance or machine." So you can look at it this way: your thoughts are like a machine! The quality and execution of diligence is the underpinning for success; however, it is the THOUGHTS of the diligent that surely lead to profit. Proverbs 12:24 instructs us: âThe hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.â The Hebrew word for âhandâ in this passage is âyadâ and it is a primitive word meaning âthe open handâ indicating âpower, means, directionâ (as opposed to the closed hand). This represents the person who by his or her own labor is independent. The idle, or lazy, person will be subject to the industrious. Solomon advanced Jeroboam because he saw that he was an industrious young man, and minded his business. [1 Kings 11:28] People that strive in study and service will be promoted from above. This is an eternal principle, also. Jesus taught us, in a context dealing with the Millennial Kingdom, âHe that has been faithful in a few things shall be made ruler over many things.â The scripture also teaches us that, âThe elders, that labor in the word and doctrine, are worthy of double honor.â [1 Timothy 5:17] The Greek word for âhonorâ here used is âtime [tee-may]" and means âmoney paid, or valuables.â This passage is saying that âThose that labor in Godâs Holy word, and teach it, are worthy of double money.â The THOUGHTS of the diligent surely lead to profit. One who has the foundation of diligence and who learns to cultivate his or her thoughts will surely profit. The Bible says, âFinally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things. â [Philippians 4:8] Don't look back on failures. Meditate on your successes . . . and on God's Word. There is something to the old expression: "What you see is what you get." The Proverbs tell us: "For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." [Proverb 23:7] Remember . . . do NOT act in a hurry . . . do NOT make hasty, rash decisions. Work hard and mix your efforts with sound thoughts, planning, and, when necessary, good counsel. Then you WILL profit and be successful.
