Proverbs - Diligence Produces Good Thoughts


Proverbs 21:5

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;
 but of every one that is hasty only to want.


In order to abound with plenteousness we are instructed to be diligent women.  Plenteousness means plenty - plenty of time, plenty of resources, plenty of ideas and plenty of means.  Here we see that our work ethic will actually produce a right way of thinking that leans towards being able to see bounty where otherwise we might not recognize it.  When we take our thoughts and plans to the Lord and work hard in what we do, we become women who come up with ideas we are not too lazy to try.  The opposite is true as well.  If we are lazy we tend to be hasty.  We charge this or put a halfhearted effort into that and we end up wanting or lacking.  Remember that our diligence in matters helps us have a good mind that can see all that the Lord has given us.  Remember that if we are hasty or impulsive we are going to lack in the long run.
