Proverbs - Tilling Your OWN Land


Proverbs 28:19

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

The Lord is letting us know that we need to till our own land.  We don’t need to be concerned about everyone else’s land.  We need to till our own land.  This will result in having our needs more than met.  What is your land?  Is it your home?  Is it your apartment?  Is it your car?  Is it the ministry or job you have?  Are you tilling it?  Are you making sure you are taking care of it?  Is there something you can do to develop and make these things better?  See what your hands find to do today and do it with all your might unto the Lord.  We are warned here that if we choose to hang around with friends that are not tilling their land and distracting us from our land we will end up lacking.  Consider your land.  Consider your children, your marriage and your health.  Don’t accept that luncheon invitation with that group of gals if you haven’t taken care of your land first!
