Proverbs - Faithfulness Results in Blessings

Proverbs 28:20

A faithful man shall abound with blessings:
 but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

Faithfulness is a rare commodity these days.  It is important that we know how to do our jobs day in and day out with a sense of wanting to do them well and consistently.  Showing up on time to things, having dinner ready for our families, being at a bible study every week and paying bills when they are due are all types of faithfulness.  Being able to keep going in the things that you have to do regardless of what comes to distract is being faithful. Not dropping our responsibilities due to a more exciting opportunity or even because of discouragement helps define us as faithful.  This includes avoiding pursuing things to get money quickly without working.  The temptation is to get rich quick and the Lord lets us know that if we do this we will not be innocent.  He wants us to be faithful where we are and not try every new pursuit with the hope to get rich quick.  We will abound with blessings when we are faithful people.
