Proverbs 13:11 -Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. My thought on this is that this is saying that if you come by money in a dishonest way , then it will go away very fast. But if you save it and earn it little by little, it will last a long time. The Lord will stretch the money earned and saved and multiply it and use it for great and mighty things.
Nothing of Real Value happens overnight.
Proverbs 28:22 - A stingy man is eager to get rich, and is unaware the poverty that awaits him. My thought on this is, A person who loves money wants to get it all right now, make it in ways that are probably not right and doesnt want to do good with the money. He thinks that if he has alot of money that he will have everything he needs, but want he doesnt know is that if he gets it in a wrong way with wrong intentions, then it won't last long. The Lord will cause all sorts of things to come up that the money will vanish away.
Proverbs 21:5 - The plans of the deligent lead to profit, as surely as haste leads to poverty. My thoughts on this are that it is saying that if you work hard and plan ahead that it will lead to profit and good, but if you jump into things to quick and don't take time to think about them and pray about them that it will not work out. You will lose it. Boy have I learned that lesson the hard way.
Not sure why I wanted to post these thoughts, but these are scriptures from Pastor Jonathans sermon this past sunday and reading over them it just seemd that I was suppose to break a few of them down and look more closely at them then normal. So, these are for me!!
