PRECAUTIONS

“Better safe than sorry.” Proverbs 22:3 says, A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”

THE LAZY MAN'S TROUBLES

“The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labor. He covets greedily all the day long; but the righteous gives and spares not.” Proverbs 21:25,26

SPENDTHRIFT

It is nice to have spending money, but when every dollar is spending money you may have problems. “The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.” Proverbs 21:20 Living Bible

TROUBLE

Has your mouth ever got you into trouble? “Even a fish wouldn’t get in trouble if it kept its mouth shut.” JN. “Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.” Proverbs 21:23

TRY THIS

There is an old saying, “I never met a man that gave me so much trouble as myself.” The following verse speaks to Israel. Substitute your name in the place of Israel and see what God will do in and for you. “O Israel (your name or USA), you have destroyed yourself, but in me is your help” Hosea 13:9

PLEASURE

Three more elements that lead to poverty. “those who love pleasure become poor; those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.” Proverbs 21:17

GIVE AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN

Jesus said, “Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men five into your bosom…” Solomon said, “Those who shut their ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in their own time of need.” Proverbs 21:13 NLT Luke 6:38
