Proverbs 14:23 All
hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
I walked by a house yesterday that had a large dumpster in
the yard. I heard hammering and assumed
that the house was getting new shingles.
I glanced up and discovered that there was no roof at all on the
house. The dumpster was full of the
wooden beams and decking. I glanced back
as I passed the duplex and saw the exterior wall of a room on the back of the
house was also missing. Since the home
looks similar to its neighbors, I could only guess that the property had been
let go for so long that drastic measures had to be taken to save the house and
at much greater cost than if necessary repairs had been made all along. I’m a great believer in the saying, “A stitch
in time saves nine.” This happens
sometimes in people’s lives, too. They
let things get so out of hand that their lives fall apart – like this
house. A successful person is attentive
and proactive in managing their lives. Ask God for help each day.
Help us to keep things together Lord when we feel something
in our life is falling apart. We know that you are a constant source of
strength. In Christ’s name we pray.
Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
