The Reward of Diligence
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied”
(Proverbs 13:4, RSV)
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
God longs to pour out His favor and blessing on you. He has rewards, victory and promotion for you, but these things don’t happen automatically. You have to do your part. You have to be diligent. First of all, you have to be diligent to seek His ways and follow His commands. Then you also have to be diligent with what you have in your hand — your time, abilities and resources. In Matthew, Jesus tells a parable about three men whose employer entrusted them with some money. Two of the men were diligent and invested the money and received a great return. The third man was afraid and buried what he was given. The first two men were rewarded and praised for their diligence while the third man was basically fired.
Today, follow the example of the first two men and look for ways to be diligent with what you have in your hand. Whatever you do, do it with excellence! Be the best you can be. Go the extra mile even when you think it goes unnoticed because God notices and promises to richly supply the soul of the diligent!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your favor and blessing on my life. Today I choose to be diligent. I choose to live in excellence and do everything to the best of my ability. I give You all the glory and thank You for Your faithfulness in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

Our pastor covered the same story amongst others today i.e. servants who received talents before their master embarked on a journey. What a wonderful blessing to be hear the same message preached twice. Indeed let us all strive to go the extra mile for our Father who sees us will reward us.

We would also like to state that most individuals who find themselves with out health insurance are usually students, self-employed and people who are out of work. More than half of those uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not sense they are needing health insurance simply because they’re young and healthy. The income is frequently spent on houses, food, plus entertainment. Most people that do work either full or part time are not made available insurance through their work so they go without because of the rising tariff of health insurance in the usa. Thanks for the strategies you reveal through this site.
