Verse of the Day: Don’t Overwork for Riches
May 3, 2007
4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich.
Be wise enough to know when to quit.
5 In the blink of an eye wealth disappears,
for it will sprout wings
and fly away like an eagle.
Proverbs 23:4-5 (NLT)
From the Nelson Study Bible:
These verses call for moderation in work. Do not overwork to be rich: Although the proverbs discourage laziness (see 22:13), they also discourage any overworking whose purpose is greater wealth.
